We all know about the mainstream stuff needed for racing, but everyone list your secret, or just good ideas. It might help everyone to see what people are doing outside their own track. Mine is no secret, but just a good idea(in my opinion anyway). Got mine on sale for $19.99 so keep your eye out. Nice, large and has adjustable slots. I store my radio, chargers, power supply, batteries and other things that stay relatively out of the dirt in here. It locks too, which I luckily I don't need where I race, but nice to have just in case.

It's a compact folding table with 2 seats. It all folds up into a briefcase size package. Perfect for setting up an outdoor pit area. 1 seat to sit on, the other for the starterbox, I usually set it up behind my vw with the hatch open and the tool box in the trunk. it makes for an efficient, and easy to set up work area for the outdoor dirt ovals I've been to.

now thats a cool idea then the trunk becomes your lockable toolbox when you go to races

True, but it's a lot harder to walk off with a large shiny aluminum case than it is to reach out and snatch a tool or battery as you walk by.

I think he's referring to the trunk of his car.

The good ol' boot and bonnet.
The table is a cool idea. The large tool and tackle boxes are also very nice. I have one for each type of car/truck I have.

When I ran my Bolink I had a snap-on motor heat sink with a cap that you could add a small amount of liquid to help cooling. Can't remember who made it but on the grid I used to make a show of adding Slurpee ice to it before racing.
