I can't make it on breakfast and concession stand pizza at lunch time. Breakfast at home or hotel, get to track, register, unpack, pre-track prep, Eat (sometimes during driver meeting), Track, check stuff/rest, Eat, Track, check stuff/rest, repeat.. all day. And hydrate, of course.

3 Pre-packed sandwiches in a small cooler, a cold meal like a bean salad or something, nuts/trail-mix, protein bars for a supplement if needed.. if it'll fit some fruit.

heh.. that's not just track days, thats doing 'whatever' away from home for more than a few hours. Kind of a pain in the ***..
As we get into peak summer, water and keeping cool are important too!
I try and bring a gallon or more of cold drinks, plus ice and frozen towels (great for cooling off with).
