Race Day Checklists
 
Hey guys,
Well tomorrow is the Street Legal Drags at California Speedway, I am planning on running my car. I was wondering if any of you make a checklist of what to do before racing.
And im sure with Proving Grounds coming up you all may want something like this as well.
Post up what you feel should be on a DSMer/NonDSM Checklist for race day.

Check list:
Items To bring:
10,12,14,17,19mm Sockets and open ended wrenches
Ice Packs and soapy water spray for cooling intake temps.
Helmet

To Do:
Check Timing
Check Spark Plug Gap
Check Boost Leaks
Check Fuel Pressure
Lower Pressure in Tires/Change into slicks
Pick up Race Gas or octane booster
Set up fuel/timing map for race gas
Make sure settings for DSMlink are correct.

Please add because im sure i forgot some things. The less things we forget the less problems we run into at the track.

I was having problems all day with hitting second (due to no traction in first), having problems with knock, (100 plus temperature all day, 135 intake temps) So i turned the boost down to 16psi on 100 octane, Spun a little off the launch and finally hit second, ended up doing a 13.8 at 114mph. My trap speeds were high all day, i was getting 15s and 16s (both missing second) at 104-110mph traps.
