Yay! I'm going to my first Nascar race in Daytona at the end of the month. What should I bring? I know I should pack my bikini and sun tan lotion, but what do you think I might need down there that I haven't thought of? Legit answers please! We're renting a condo near the track that has all the amenities but what shouldn't I forget?

both hot/cold clothes...extra clothes, esp if you are doing prerace activities (people will get crazy and not realize where there beer is splashing)
some rain gear (cuz there is nothing worse than sitting in the rain w/o any protection..
sunscreen..
probably a hat or something to help shield your face from the sun
sunglasses..
camera (film batteries)...
cooler (i would suggest packing drinks on the way down if you are driving, b/c prices near the track are higher) and you will definitely need to stay hydrated in that heat..
anything you might want to carry incase you meet drivers that you want autographed..
some throat stuff..it's amzing how fast your voice will go at the track..
take a backpack or something to the track (check website for regulations) so that you have places to put souveniers, and stuff..
a seat cushion helps a lot too..
lots of money..trust me, it can go really quick!!! esp when you are having a good time
drhenry made a good suggestion..if your ears are at all sensitive, and esp since you have never been to a race earplugs are a maybe.. personally, i love the sounds and can't get enough of it..but it can be painful to some..
make sure if you have any medical issues you are preopared..i/e asthma, bee allergies..stuff like that.. the last thing you want to do is sit in the ambulace getting treated while the checkered flag drops..
anything else that you might enjoy or might make your experiance better, esp if you are renting a condo.. you'll have a place to put it all..
also, bring a sense of humor and a light heart. you will come acorss a wide variety of people. a lot mean things in good nature..some can get ignorant..and yeah, so be sure to come ready to have a good time and not take anything seriously..
enjoy and have a great time!!!

You will need to dress for hot and cool. The temp will cool through the race as the sun sets and you may end up in a jacket. A pair of sweets in the bag may be needed, especially if the wind blows. The thing you really need is a pair of earplugs. If you have never been, the loudness will suprise you. It depends on where you sit, but wear earplugs. You also need a hat or buy one when you get to the track. I also pack plenty of gum and hard candy because your mouth can get dry during the race.

If you are going to the race you wil need a cooler filled with beer. Plenty of sun screen and a cap or hat. Radio scanner. You can listen to the pit crew and drivers and spotters.

It's going to be very hot and humid. Bring light clothing, hats and some kind of rain poncho because there are rain showers in the evenings. Make sure you have plenty of water.
