Default Track spares package

So if you were fortunate enough to go away for 8 track days in one fell swoop, what would you bring for spares? I have the following list, what am I forgetting?

Pads
Rotors
Oil & filter
Brake fluid
Various crush washers (brake lines, diff, tranny)
Gear oil
Union bolts for brakes
Brake bulbs
Money for tires

Thanks in advance.

Coolant and/or distilled water and power steering fluid. Just in case you boil one or both, it is summer afterall. I would also bring some spare hose in various sizes for coolant lines, radiator hose, vaccum, fuel, etc.

Having done all three iterations of OTC (http://www.opentrackchallenge.com) you'll need everything on your list plus:

Engine Oil and filter
Coolant
Fan belt
Radiator hoses
Electrical wire, connectors, and shrink wrap
Rear halfshaft
Rubber hose in various IDs
**** clamps
Bailing wire
Exhaust mounts and clamps
Valve stems
Extra lug nuts and wheel studs
Wiper blades
Extra car battery
Anti-roll bar bushings and end links
Tie rod ends
Steering rack boots
CV joint boots and grease

and lots more...

^^^I don't know about all of that, but I do agree with adding the belts and lugs / studs to the list.

Thanks for the great replies.

If I don't want to spend all the money on a **** clamp, can she just use the seatbelt in a pinch?

I'm not one to point out typos, but that one read great.

Depending on the track, you may need a clamp.

If you have sways setup aggressively, endlinks might not be a bad idea?

Forgot to add "Condom" after the "**** Clamp." Always think Safety when working with ***** and clamps.

Differental Gear Oil wouldn't be a bad idea either.
