What Do You Take with You to the Track?

I don't know if this will be of interest to anyone, but I was inspired to take photos of the car loaded-up for a trip to the track by the 'Real Daily Driver' thread in the General Forum. This is a list of the main items I load into the car and take to the track:

Mounted Track Tires
Tire Inflator (bike pump, but soon a portable air compressor)
Jack (2-ton aluminum)
Jack Stands (2 X Esco "shorties")
Reverse Logic E88JPT Jack Pads (2)
Wheel Chocks (2)
Track Mat
Folding Creeper
24V Cordless Impact Wrench
Torque Wrenches (2)
Tool Bag (breaker bar, sockets, screw drivers, pliers, etc., etc.)
Gear Bag (helmet, HANS, race shoes, race gloves, Nomex socks)
Briefcase (event stuff, book, sunscreen, spare eyeglasses, etc.)
GoPro (incl. spare batteries, alternate backs, etc.)
AiM Solo (the original, basic unit)
17” Laptop
Sennheiser HD 600 Headphones (in a box)
Small Plastic Box (communicators (3) & assoc. stuff)
Medium Plastic Box (folded clothing, Dopp kit, other personal items)
Large Plastic Box (fluids, rags, outlet strip & ext. cord, etc., etc.)
28-Qt. Cooler
24-Pack of Bottled Water
Work Boots
Garment Bag (rain suit, long-sleeved shirts, jackets w/diff. weights)
Camp Chair
24” Floor Push Broom
Whisk Broom and Dustpan
Moving Pads (2)

A hatchback would make the loading process easier, but that's a minor quibble - except when I'm bent over with my arms fully extended working to get the the tires or the jack into the exact position I need them so everything else will fit.

As you can see, there's still a decent amount of room left in the front passenger seating area - this car can really hold a lot of gear!
