In this episode of Late to Grid, we dive into the checklist every racer needs to have before heading to the track. Whether you’re new to autocross or you’ve got a season of wheel-to-wheel under your belt, this is your solo survival kit for stress-free events.

Bill shares his essential gear picks, pro tips for packing, and lessons learned from a very wet practice day at Mid-Ohio. Learn why peanut butter & jelly might be your secret weapon, why painter’s tape belongs in every trunk, and how being prepared helps you stay focused on what matters most: driving.

If you’ve ever forgotten your torque wrench or shown up with foggy visors—this one’s for you.

🔧 Topics include:

  • Must-have driving gear
  • Tools & spares that save your day
  • Why you should never rely on track concessions
  • The comfort hacks pros won’t skip
  • Lessons learned the hard way at wet track days

Race season is here. If you need to catch up on setup, or have something that needs repaired, you need to be Atomic prepped.  Get to  https://atomicautosports.com/ to get your car ready to get out there next weekend.
