If you're new to racing like I am, you forget a lot of stuff that you
need or would really like to have, at home. I have compiled a list of
things that you need for a weekend at the races. The list is set up in
categories, use what you need and discard what you don't and remember
this is my list that I have compiled your needs might be different.
