What to Bring to an Event

This list covers everything from sunscreen to snacks to tires pressure gauges. You will probably come up with your own list of things you need at a Solo event, but this will get you started.

You must have:

  • Your car (although you may share a car with someone else)
  • Your entry fee
  • A valid driver's license

You may want to bring:

  • Your SCCA membership card, to get a discount on entry fees
  • A safety helmet
  • Extra air in your tires. Stop at a gas station and fill your tires to approximately 45psi-front/35psi-rear for a front-wheel-drive car, or 40psi all around for a rear-wheel-drive car.
  • Suitable shoes for driving. The best are light-soled, with a narrow sole which does not stick out past the side of the shoe.
  • Sunglasses
  • Sunscreen
  • Clothes appropriate for the weather forecast, plus a change for when the forecast is wrong
  • Rain gear / umbrella
  • A hat
  • A folding chair
  • Thermos of water or other non alcoholic beverage
  • Cooler for lunch or snacks
  • Windex and paper towels
  • A pad and pencil to write down all the advice you'll get
  • A copy of the current SCCA Solo II Rule Book
  • A good tire pressure gauge
  • A portable air tank or compressor
  • Chalk or white shoe polish to mark the tires

If you have any questions please feel free to contact us.
