Here is a short list of what you will need for yourself and your car before coming to an event.  This list covers the major items, but every situation is a little different so it's a good idea to talk to some of our members as soon as you decide you are interested.  People like Jim Cosner, Matt Green and  are a great technical resource and can help you avoid some of the mistakes they have seen (and made) over the years.
