Default Getting Ready for ShelbyFest 2011

Hi All,

I have been a spectator for the last 2 years at ShelbyFest and have taken the plunge and am competing for the first time this year.

Been doing a couple of upgrades to the Cobra lately (safety than performance). Got my helmet and gloves. Havenet gone for a suit yet.

Put in a Battery isolator and a 4 point harness. Picture below.

The new CR Chassis has all of the mounting points for a 4 point harness so it was pretty easy. Also with the quick release fittings it can be easily removed from the car when not in use.

Anyway just a quick request if anyone has a "ShelbyFest Checklist" of the necesary things/tools etc to bring along.

I will be driving my Cobra there and back so no trailer. Have Total Care in case I get stranded.

I am thinking things like the following:

- tool box with most tools
- Spare Coolant
- Spare Oil?
- Jack (and stands?)
- Tyre Pressure guage (I assuming I can borrow someones pump)
- Car Cover
- Chock for wheels so I dont put handbrake on when brakes are hot
- ext lead and lead light
- multimeter
- cable ties
- window cleaner/chamois

Anything else?

thanks

regards

Gregg
