    Things to remember before getting on the track:

    1. All 30 lug nuts are tight (and not just hand tight from last week's maintenance/inspection period).
    2. Diamond shifters are secured so they will not pop out.
    3. You have a drive belt.
    4. Check that you have enough fuel.
    5. Clean the mud off your goggles from the last race.
    6. Warm your engine up so you don't have to cold start the engine and flood it.
    7. Figure out a nice balance in tire pressure that moderates overinflation (bouncing all over the track until you crash) with underinflation (where the sidewalls give way and you end up catching a rim on the track and crash)
    8. Earplugs if I'm driving the 503.
    9. Remember to keep your eyes open for Grandpa Cicora in his Tomahawk.
    10.Make sure your lap belt is in the locked position.
    11.Remember that when the flag drops, it means GO!
    12. You will not touch anything that is hot barehanded.
