Spares and Equipment

It is often useful to take some spare parts in the event of a small problem.   There is not enough time to tackle big jobs, but some smaller jobs can be done at the race meeting with only a basic toolkit.   

If you don't have a trailor I would consider membership of some type of recovery organisation - at the very least have a mobile phone with you.
