What’s In My Pack?

,

 
 carry this leatherman MUT EOD tool in the rear compartment.  It's not that I often defuse bombs but this tool has the best wire crimpers, cutters and strippers as well as decent other tools.  It always seems that decent wiring tools are missing out in the field.  Drift cars often sustain wiring damage when things happen so this tool comes in handy.  It also has a lot of AR15 specific tools that are great if you have an AR15, not that I generally have one at the track.  This also goes with me to the shooting range.
 
The main compartment of the pack has my laptop, my notebook and a couple of bags of stuff that come in handy.  Sometimes I have my Team Falken jacket and a change of clothes in here as well.
 
I have this compact Toshiba laptop with a flash hard drive so I can drop and thrash it.  You might be surprised that I don't use it that much.  This is because laptops always seem to go dead when you need them and we get exposed to bad weather a lot during your typical race season.  For our data logging we use a Panasonic tough book which is tough but slow outdated piece of crap that just broke so we are trying to figure out what to replace it with.
 
I actually depend on my notebook the most because it doesn't have batteries and it can get wet to an extent.  All of my secrets are in here.  I have notes going way back which is handy in case I run into similar circumstances at an event.  We run no matter what the weather is, rain or shine and the set up is different depending on precipitation, temperature and pavement conditions.  Looking at what worked before can save precious time and is a big edge.
I really don't need security because my handwriting is like a doctors.  Only a pharmacist or myself could understand it!  My poor notebook has gotten wet so many times that it is starting to get pretty dog eared.  It has a built in calculator that is handy as well.  I should really transcribe this stuff into something else one of these days as this looks sorta unprofessional and low tech.
Bag one has head gear, some fake Dai hair and visor, a Team Falken hat and a handy warm beenie I got at some Scion party.  Just the stuff to keep your head protected.
