plenty of every fluid your bike takes.

Motor oil, chain lube, break fluid, if your bike uses one, hydraulic clutch fluid.

Check your tire pressure and make sure all your lugs are tight for EVERYTHING.

and for gods sake make sure your f***ing brake calipers are on tight.....*sigh* ( learned from experience)

Adjust your chain tension if needed.

Thats my pre race checklist.

-Spark plugs
-Just MAKE SURE you have all the tools you may need
-Spare set of wheels (even if they aren't an mx set they are still better than watching from the sidelines with a flat)
-Spare goggles or something to clean your goggles with.
-Spare clothes incase you sweat or take a trip in the mud or something :p
-QUADRUPLE check that you don't forget your quad key or bring a spare one.

All the things Lane mentioned are important as well.

And if you don't have a pickup bringing a lawn chair or camping chair is always nice.

Being over-prepared is way better than traveling light and its nice peace of mind when you get to the track and feel prepared.

And most importantly, good luck tomorrow!! :cool:
