Rain days things to bring,
Something to keep the interior of your car from getting soaked, plastic bag or towels if you have to keep windows down for the groups rules like NASANE often requires.

If you don't have a place indoors to park a container to keep water out of all the stuff you bring.

Extra pair of dry socks and shoes.

An ez-up canopy 10' can easily cover you and your car if you need to do work at the track. Don't forget to properly secure it!
I hadn't put too much thought into the "getting wet" portion of a rain day. Thanks for making me consider that, because yup, windows down.

ie: floor mats, carpet in the hatch area, it is also normal to take the spare tire and items out too.

A hint, you might want to put the tow bar, in the front of the car just in case....

have fun and enjoy,,,,
Thanks! Hadn't planned on leaving too much home, but now that you mention it, I can absolutely leave all the carpeting and such.

I've never paid too much attention to my steering inputs so this is going to weigh on my brain. I really appreciate the advice and I'm sure I'll have a great time as long as I keep her off the wall
