Adam St. Germain replied to Aaron J's discussion What do you bring when you "camp" at the race?"With each season it seems that more stuff gets added to the "set-up".
Generally, we have an EZ-Up tent, some chairs, work stand if it's a double weekend, tools of course.
Small cooler, stove for coffee/oatmeal, etc. Maybe the…"
