From Daytona to Autocross, Part 2 of 2

Mazda factory driver Kenton Koch tips after competing in his first national autocross and taking the top overall time by index.The good news: The results were much better than expected in my RX-8! I managed to finish second on Saturday to Ron Bauer in the 2016 MX-5 he has been developing with Mazda Motorsports. But on Sunday, I was able to run the fastest run of the weekend against the tough competition. It wasn't without the help of the autocross community. They were all very kind and more than willing to offer their advice and lend tools where needed. Although I brought everything I thought I needed, I still spent half the time borrowing tools because I either did not bring them to grid or at all.Items I brought:

• Tool box with essential wrenches, breaker bar, torque wrench, and sockets
• Tire pressure gauge
• Cheap Harbor Freight hand pump (that broke the first time I used it)
• Oil (RX-8s need this)
• Jack and Jack stands

Items I will bring next time:
• Chalk to mark tires to check for tire roll over
• Water sprayer to spray oil coolers
• Proper bike tire pump
• Temperature gun to check ground temperature
