    The $70 special. Good for emergencies. I need to make a rack to allow it in the trunk while driving, but also prevent it from rolling around or bouncing.

    I went with the 2 ton one as I got tired of the 1.5 breaking all the time. Just a little heavier but does well. Got it for 90 bucks on sale with a 25% off coupin. The speed never carries anything but broken hopes and dreams along with the occasional vice to my nuts and wallet so I don't worry about it rolling around much.

    I have a big beast for home use now, nice and low-pro. But this one is for road trips and emergencies. If it breaks, I will toss into the recycle bin.

    That's a good list for even other members to consider when coming to ENM.

    I'll have a whole truck bed full of shit. Tools, jack, jackstands, etc. Possibly some spare parts as well.

    I keep a tool bag in the spare tire wheel well, selected tools from years of working on the car. I also have a friend 45 minutes from the Dragon with a well stocked garage and know how. @865ms3

    ^ I'll have a trailer for anyone who may need to visit said garage with a car that can't get there under its own power. Though hopefully that won't happen.

    For stock parts I don't have as much as I thought I had, but I'll bring my stock motor mounts and stuff like that just in case anyone blows a mount and needs to limp home with an OEM one.

    Typically I have a good stash of wear items that are easy to replace. If not it's tow truck time. But I will have spare brake parts and spare suspension parts as I feel that's what will get the most beat on. If engine stuff is going to break it's going to break and it would have happened even if you weren't at the Dragon. So I put little effort into trying to plan for those issues asthey are hard to plan for.

    With over 100 Speed Cars at this event and the skill level of many, we should be able to cover most break downs.

    Is there an auto parts store in the neighbor hood?
    With all the tooling around list someone should rent a SnapOn or Mack truck just for this event with a NASA Car 18 wheeler as a mobile garage back up!
    I was going to bring lots of tools but with all these awesome people bringing their stuff people like me "The First Timer at The Dragon!" can relax and take it all in!
    Thanks you guys for thinking of others first!

    But tell the Volvo guys to keep Nessie wheels down as many times as possible.

    I will be bringing spare front endlinks, trying to find my oem rear endlinks so i can bring those as well. I will also be bringing a spare passanger side axle (NEW) and seal and well as an axle nut, just in case someone manages to bust theirs. Will be looking through the garage tomorrow to see in there are any other spare parts i can find.
