    1. Should be fine. I'm contemplating getting a tow hitch for our Honda Civic and towing with that if that gives you any inspiration.

    2. I go through a little more then one tank per day on my R6 so I bring another 2 gallons with me.

    3. I typically camp in the mountains adjacent to Utah Motorsport Campus. Summer weather in the Salt Lake area is typically gorgeous but if it's hot I'd rather stay in a cheap hotel. I cant sleep when it's hot and I've found that a good nights sleep make a huge difference for me at the track the next day. My camp setup includes a tent and an air matress and that's it. Quick setup and tear down. In regards to food, you're not going to want to eat big meals. For breakfast I have a banana and a protein shake. Lunch is usually an avocado, some protein crackers and a baby food pouch (blended fruits and veggies and doesnt need to be refrigerated). I usually eat another banana or a shot blok after one of the afternoon sessions to restore the salts in my body and get a boost from the sugar. Afterwards of course I go to Dennys and load up on chicken fried steak-n-eggs.

    That was my 2nd ever track day and I had a blast. I learned a lot about body position and how it is a major key to executing a perfect line.

    Coaches were awesome. I just wish I didn't have mechanical issues on the last day when I was really getting into it but hey, is what it is. ;)

    Can't wait to come back!
