    Random crap to have @ the track?

    I bought a new camper Sunday night, and am putting together a list of things that it may be nice to have in it for the race weekends. Any small/cheap/easy creature comfort things you think may be nice to have, mention! I am horrible at packing, I never bring everything I need. Now I'm trying to plan, stock up and pack for the camper...

    So far:
    Blanket
    Sheet
    Pillow
    Coffee Maker
    Coffee Cups
    foreman grill (it has a stove but this is easy & I have it)
    FORKS (I've been meaning to bring forks to the track since I started racing, and never once have. I end up using cans from the food as a fork)
    Canned/packaged food
    TV? I have one, but no clue what I'd watch on it without cable
    Alarm clock
    Radio
    Can opener
    Vitamin water
    Chair
    Extension cord(s)
    Netbook (to order CL strippers, ty Jim)
    First aid stuff (thanks Ted)
    Small grill
    Tongs or Spatula for grill
    "Toiletries" - thanks from another forum
    Paper Towels
    disposable cups/plates
    flip flops
    broom
    2x4s for wheel chalks & under the tongue jack
    Microwave
    Popcorn
    Space heater
    Clothes hangers
    30A to normal plug adapter

    What am I missing? I'm sure some shit is glaringly obvious...

    Clothes/tools/race gear/bike/stands are givens, btw. Even I remember those (although I did make it halfway to the truck before remembering helmets last time)

    I always bring fans, but since this is my "list" for this weekend I'll add it. The fan can stay from now on too. Good call on the grill thing. Added. As is a small real grill.

    Man, you roll in style. this thing isn't that nice, and I plan to ghetto it up a bit. It does have a sink - so a hose may be a good idea. I didn't even think of using the sink - never did in my old one. I wonder if the sinks work in this one? No way will the bathroom be in service, the bathrooms are a 20 second scooter ride or 1 minute walk away.
    I drink the water from the hose on the side of the garage. Hasn't made me sick yet.
    Firepits are awesome, not sure how they'd go over right outside the garage where I'll be set up. It's worth asking next weekend.
    Rug? For?
    PAPER TOWELS! Winna!
    First aid is on there thanks to Ted

    Anyone use charcoal grills over the pavement by the garages? Does that fly or is that a no-no?

    Also adding a broom.

    You can have the broom you bought for me..don't think I'll be using it.

    Rug is much better than stones in T1A but you be one of da classy peps wit garages.

    I don't trust that water for drinkin but it is NH how bad could it be??

    How about hanging xmas lights? there's ghetto!

    Sweet! I'm pretty sure I'll forget to buy one anyway, but we'll see.

    Dunno about classy, just clueless enough that I need to be surrounded by the EX guys that know what they're doing.

    Water never bothered me, or a few of the other guys in my garage that drink it.

    xmas lights? lmao. I'm not shooting for ghetto, I'm just not going out of my way to class it up either. I want comfortable and functional above all.

    get yourself a 6x8' piece of astroturf to roll out in front. that way you have a place to kick off your shoes, stage the grill, broom, chairs: you know, the hospitality suite.

    Re: Random crap to have @ the track?

    Bitchin idea Chip, but I doubt I'll have the real estate outside the camper. They get stacked in front of the garage, so there usually isn't a ton of room between them. Suppose I could set it up in front of the camper or whatever, be nice to have the spot to chill.

    Good calls everyone. Seth, not sure about that, but it's worth some thought. Rob, nobody suggested a microwave, I'll keep my eyes open for a cheap one. For all I know the camper comes with one. The foreman and real grill will work for the classic, and I'll grab one if it doesn't have one.

    Doc, nobody said heater. I even have a small one, and it'd totally slipped my mind. Thanks.

    I have a microwave you can have for a 12pack of Guiness. (I need to share it with SMF)

    Re: Random crap to have @ the track?

    My tool collection sucks, it all fits in a small thing with wheels and I need it at home as well as the track, it goes back and forth. Race spares will stay there. Notebook I like to refer to at home. Oil is a good idea, but it's an EX... who changes that? Cleaning stuff, check. Cords, heater and fans will stay there. AJs roomie killed my air mattress, but this has beds so not a huge loss. Hangers are a good idea too.

    I'd take you up on that if I knew if there was one in the camper already. If there is, another would just add to the list of useless shit I already have (the other camper, a sailboat, etc.)
