Another few things would be to find out what the driver uses for brake pads, brake fluid, rotors, oil filter, etc., as those can be pricey and nice gifts. (I use Hawk DTC-60 front, HP+ rear pads, Motul RBF-600 fluid)

Portable battery powered air pump for tires I have one very similar to this. It's cheap and great to use for adjusting pressures before sessions.

A decent tire pressure gauge This is the one I have and have used for several years and I have been very happy with it.

A subscription to Grassroots Motorsports

Torque wrench, +200 ft/lbs This is the one I have been using for a few years and it works well.

I've got lots of other ideas for tools and such; specific socket sets, impact gun & sockets, special bits for your car, magnet, flash lights/head lamp/stick light, channel locks, stubby sockets, various wrenches, extensions, breaker bar, bits, allen wrenches, vice grips, pry bars, adapters, pliers, cutters, etc that would be good to put on your list if you don't have them in your kit.

Happy holidays!

Ok so coolant is probably ok but better to change it, I am still learning how to change coolant so I will do it afterwards. But I used a tester and it's just 1C below the recommended level 265C so I guess coolant is still pretty good. Also didn't see sediment or crap in the coolant. Coolant tester is this one is it any accurate? https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000BOA9RY/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Yeah brake fluid definitely going to change that, will be changing it to TYP 200 the blue one.

​

If I track the car 3,4 times a year, how often to change out the TYP 200?

Nothing super fancy. Just a GoPro Hero4 mounted to my roll bar. For audio, I use a lavalier mic from Audio-Technica. I run the mic through the trunk and tape it to the rear bumper. Your Corvette looks like a lot of fun, BTW! :)

You can use a Ram Mount to mount to the roll bar. They have different length arms that you can get if you want further adjustment range. I've not had any problems with mine.

No offense taken and I appreciate the guidance.

​

The mount in the video is a headrest mount that I found on amazon. It is shockingly rigid and the arm is adjustable in a couple of different axes.
