Race Weekend - What to Take?
So it the first race of the season and I've never done this before, so a question to the veterans of ACU DesmoDue racing. What needs to be in the van along with me and the bike?

Sleeping bag etc (assuming you're arriving tomorrow) Food and plenty of water and a splash of alcohol for Sat night  Plenty of clothes, spare leathers, lid etc if you have them in case it's wet  ACU License Sign on card Orange Bib Dog tags Keys for your bike..... Gazeebo etc if you have one Chairs Paddock stands iPod Ear plugs (too sleep with) Alarm clock The list is endless, some people turn up with a bike and their gear and get by, but it's always good to expect the unexpected |

the best advice i got was on the ACU day, as long as you have your bike, bike key and your licence you can probably blag everything else if required.
i take spare kit as i am unlikely to be able to borrow this  but i dont have spare leathers so if they got trashed (and they have been very hardy so far!) then i would be stuck.things i have missed when i've forgotten have been: socks (had large blisters after the mallory trackday last year ow ow owwww!) wet wipes or similar if you dont like getting your jeans dirty by wiping your hands on them
