Oil/Brake fluid
Extra Brake pads are good
If you are running HPDE, fill up the tank to the brim before getting there. It's expensive at the track. If you are staying trackside, gas is nice, but it's saving you roughly $1.5-2 a gallon. So let's say starting with a full tank, you use 1/2 a tank at 8 gallons a session for 6 sessions. 6x8 = 48 - 16 starting, 32 gallons x $1.50 = $48. Is it worth it to bring your own gas cans for $48 of convenience? Plus the likelihood of you burning 8 gallons every 30 minute session is pretty low. More like in the $30-50 range for savings a weekend. Since racers go 10 times a year, $300-500 and having the trailer seems like an easy way; but for DE it might not.
Bring Jack/simple tools/impact gun/torque wrench/tire pressure gauge/2 pack of shop towels
Chairs, make sure you aren't that guy uncomfortable. I no longer have a 36' trailer storing 50 chairs. I will only be bringing 3 total chairs and we obviously need two. I had to throw away one or two folding chairs from use and the other tan metal chairs were a PITA to bring with the RV.
I advise a canopy if you can (I need to remember to buy one too) and sunglasses/suntan lotion.
Gloves, I hate gloves with leather wheels. Might want to see which one you like better.
