tyre gauge and a 12v compresser if you have one so you can tune your tyre pressures for best traction.
spare drive belt and radiator hoses. jack and car stands. a cheap blue tarp for a ground sheet incase you need to work on the grass, saves losing stuff or getting wet/ dirty if you have to lay under the car.

It has long been told that every E series is mostly made of duct tape and cable ties. Mine is just made of cable ties now, I moved on from the duct tape.

I can't wait this year, although I won't be racing, I'll be arming myself with an SLR camera & a HD video camcorder ready to capture plenty of action. Will also be bringing a bunch of car cleaning products & sprays to keep my car looking good all day through the show & shine.
