Why are you taking brake fluid and oil ? If you have no leaks and everything is alright you wont need them .

You see yourself draining brake fluid on track and filling? Then ok.. make sense.
Cuz it is easily boil up

Montana, I take it its CSF you're doing? See you there 
I'm taking my 'track day box' which is just odds and sods in a box which I throw in the car;
helmet
tyre inflator
oil
brake fluid
spare pads (most likely won't need these but better safe than sorry)
socket set
breaker bar.
exhaust putty (damn blow)
i need a torque wrench too but I'll pinch one off someone on the day
if I was doing a local track and had a garage I'd take another set of wheels, jack and stands.
you don't necessarily need anything, but a tyre pressure gauge is recommended. There'll be people there willing to lend you a hand/tools if you need them
If you develop a leak you'll wish you had spare.

See you there!

Tyre pressure gauge
Torque wrench
Some basic hand tools (sockets/spanners/screwdriver/pliers)
Tie wraps and tape.
I've never considered brake fluid until I read this but I might in future.
A rain coat.
I try not to take too much as it'll have to stay tied down in the boot of the car as I don't want to just leave it lying around outside.

Don't think they will let you on track with a boot full of stuff.
I usually take a couple of spare wheels depending on what track I am at.
a fluids box, oil, brake fluid, coolant, Window cleaner and some rainex.
Some clothes and blue roll.
2 helmets.
Air compressor.
axle stands and Jack.
tyre pressure gauge and laser temp gauge.
I usually remove the back seats to get it all in.
And most importantly at least 2 20l cans of fuel.
There is no petrol station on Blyton and you can soon find yourself short of fuel.
As others have said a long sleeve tshirt or jacket. Most tracks will not let you go on with short sleeves.
Also something I have started to do since a couple of mates have driven my car on track is to take out some trackday insurance.
For 2 people it was £85 I know a lot of people don't but for peace of mind I have started to.

its just a regular size box. Doesn't take up much room.
If you don't get the blow sorted beforehand, you can use my paste.
Regarding leaving things tied down in the boot, that's a massive no no!
some eejit last year tried going on track with a boot full of wheels, boxes and a ****ing fire extinguisher all rolling around in the back?!
he was swiftly told to sort his **** out before returning to the track
In a garage, but Blyton doesn't have any so I'm not taking much as it'll have to stay in my tent
Just seen this after replying above.
Blyton doesn't have garages but the admin say we have a gazebo or similar for storing things.
But I'm not sure how big it is/how many people will be storing things so I'm not taking too much and leaving what I have In my tent
