List of everything you need for a 24 hour race
I was thinking what a good idea it would be for us to come up with a list of everything you should remember to take to a 24 hour race.
I know that any 24 hour newbies will really appreicate it.
So start your listing!
And don't just say Beer!

hot chics! I would say that a hot chic that is just a little bit faster than you would be a good way to increase your lap times. A guy can dream can't he.
