When driving on-track, what do you lot do with all your stuff?

I'm doing a day at Castle Combe in about 2 weeks, and it's straight after a weekend away. So, in additon to the tools, oil etc that would be useful (?) for such a day, I'll have all our weekend bags etc as well.

Is there normally anywhere to store such stuff when driving? I don't really want all that stuff rattling around (and weighing the car down) when I'm driving.

Unfortunately there's no spectator friends going, so no handy car boots to borrow.

Any advice...?

 

Tent is OK unless it's windy or you have valuable stuff I suppose

I have a large plastic box that I can make broadly secure with a bike lock through the handles - I then have one of these(or these) long cables that means I can run it through handles or holes in my stuff and round something solid.

It's not completely secure, but there's usually plenty of people around so you only really need it so they can't just pick it up and walk off !

 

Whether it's windy or not - doesn't make any difference - the weight of stuff in tent holds it down. No-one is likely to unzip the front of a tent with loads of people milling around.

 

Good point - I stand corrected !

 

It works out the cheapest and the easiest way. The tent dismantled takes up little room in the car to take to a track day.

 

I chain spare wheels through the handles of toolboxes, jacks etc.

While you are at Combe you could ask to store some bits in the Strawford centre. This is the new building used for driver briefings. Once these briefing are out of the way the building is normaly sat empty all day and should be fairly secure.

 

Good point Fatman - the circuits should provide lockers, storage facilities for track drivers. Sort it out circuit owners!

 

Buy yourself a cheap 1-man tent and store it all in that. Easy to erect and will stand on concrete without the need for pegs.
