If a CSR was not present at a race you were attending, what spare parts would you take with you?

All of the aluminum parts north of the front wheels, plenty of pop rivets, pieces of aluminum to mold over broken fiberglass and matching 200 mph tape.

If I had it, a spare pair of hubs with fresh bearings (one of each type).

I basically bring every spare part I own, to every race. It takes up room in the trailer, but I have the peace of mind in case I need something. One thing I didn't have for years was a couple spare rod ends, but that is now part of my inventory.

I try to bring weird stuff like a Halon tank and an extra transponder.

You need only bring extra beer when starting off in SRF.

The community will provide. :D

And an extra radiator...and extra A arms.

If it can break, I've broken it :oops:

Park near Matt - when he breaks his stuff there is always a few salvageable pieces!

Thanks for all the info. Based on everyone's input I am planning to bring the following to each race:

1) Duct Tape
2) Lots of premium Lager

Seems like that oughta do it! :D
