first time to track what would you bring?
I have learned ...whatever you don't bring is what you will need.....
also a few extra gaskets...intake..exhaust...valve cover are the basics....
if i go out of town..i take a complete set of rockers and pushrods...
It doesn't matter what you bring....the one critical part or tool you will need is the one you'll leave at home.
Gospel truth here.
If I am reading correctly , the car runs on M-1 ?
You aren't driving it to the track then I presume.
It kind of sounds like you're hopping into the deep end of the pool right away.
Nothing wrong with that at all , but the learning curve will be steeper for sure.
I always brought tons of stuff........spares for spares.
The one time I needed a part to keep going rounds , it was the motor for my electric water pump.........which I did not have.:D
Luckily , another racer did and sold it to me so we could keep going.
Definitely try to hang with some experience while at the track and don't be afraid to ask questions.
For me , floor jack and stands , hand tools and enough carburetor and ignition parts to rebuild anything. Spare fuel pump and diaphragms for the regulators. Tire pressure gauges , helmet stays in the car. My combination wasn't bad enough to warrant carrying much in the way of " hard " parts like push rods , bearings etc , and if there was something serious enough to put me on the trailer , that's just the way it went.
That happened once.......twisted the drive shaft in half and shelled the transmission case. No way to plan for that or fix it in time to go again in my world. Also the last time I ever had a stock shaft shortened , but that's another story.
Good luck with it.
First rule.........have fun.
If you can keep doing that , the rest is gravy.
