Sun tan lotion, water, food, a chair, and have fun. Honestly... entry level HPDE days aren't wheel to wheel racing. Go out and have some fun. Check condition of safety items: tires, brakes, fluid (overfill the oil 1/2qt and change the brake fluid), etc. Most clubs are going to have a tech sheet for you to follow... First time out at any track should be spent learning the track not driving balls to the walls.
