-Completely clean out your car. You will have to remove floor mats, and your center caps on the wheels if you have them. You will also want to remove the spare and jack. Also make sure your car is in good working order.
-Bring sunblock, I can't stress that enough. I get burned at every event because im an idiot and never bring any. Even if its cloudy I still manage to get burned.
-Bring water or something to drink, it gets hot. You can bring your own lunch, but you'll also have time to run to a fast food joint.
-You will be required to work, just in case you didnt know that. They will go over that there though.
-A folding chair is never a bad thing to have.
-You need a tire gauge. You will want to run higher pressures then you do on the street. Are you running your street tires, or will you be changing them there?
-Get there early to walk the course. Being your first event, you'll want to walk it as many times as possible so you can learn the course.
Thats about everything I can think of off the top of my head. If you have any questions at the event feel free to ask me. I have the 91 red Sentra SE-R.
Oh, I almost forgot, make sure you have plenty of hamster food.

Thanks for the info man.
Ok I got a helmet so check on that.
Also, I can understand removing the spare, jack, and floor mats.. but uhh why the center caps? Any particular requirement is that just a option or all of these options or requirements?
As far as tires I'll be running my street tires I run Yoko ES100's Do they provide you with any kind of air station or is this something you have to prep prior to coming to the course. I would run high pressure in the rear but Im not sure bout the front since being front wheel drive. Im guessing its maybe a little different than a drag strip I usually run 24-26psi on the fronts for a descent launch but how would this handle on the course?
Thanks again man I'll look you up when Im there
