What to Bring

We provide the essentials — you just need a few things to be track-ready.

We Provide

  • Helmets (SA-rated, multiple sizes)
  • Data acquisition and review tools
  • Radios for in-car communication

You Bring

  • Balaclava (required for hygiene — available at most auto parts stores)
  • Closed-toe shoes (racing shoes preferred but not required)
  • Long pants and a long-sleeve shirt (cotton or fire-resistant)
  • Your car if coaching in your own vehicle

Pre-Session Tech Inspection

If you're bringing your own car, we recommend a basic tech inspection before your session. This keeps you safe and ensures we spend time coaching — not troubleshooting.

Recommended Checklist

  • Brake pads — adequate life remaining (we recommend Hawk HP+ for track use — note they may squeal during street driving)
  • Brake fluid — fresh high-temp fluid (we recommend Motul RBF 660 for optimal performance)
  • Tires — good tread, proper pressure, no cracks
  • Oil and coolant — topped off, no leaks
  • Lug nuts — torqued to spec
  • Loose items removed from cabin and trunk
  • Battery secured
  • No warning lights on dash
