    What to bring with me to the school and races?

    I'm attending the school next month and I can't wait! I saw the list of things that I need to bring to the school, but as I go through my garage, I keep seeing things I think might be helpful, but I don't want to overpack since all I have is my 4x8 trailer and a Chevy Blazer.

    Here's what I normally take to the track, aside from the obvious stuff like bike, leathers, etc.:

    Tools: Socket set, Allen wrenches, etc.
    Stands
    Canopy for shade
    Chairs
    Cooler
    Fire extinguisher
    Fuel can
    Notebook and pens

    But off the top of my head, that's about all I can think of. What else should I start bringing with me? Thanks!

    if its anything like last year, what i would have missed was something like a hoodie big enough to fit over or enough layers to fit under your leathers. It was hella cold last year.

    the key to your bike!
    put all your gear in a gear bag. so you dont leave your boots in your driveway when you leave to hastings!
    warmers.
    buckets that you can fill with water and tie downs for your canopy. they are sails at pueblo and hpr.
    umbrella-hpr
    bug spray
    plexus for the damn bugs at hpr.
    and uh... balls
