race prep Options

Ok, we're now counting down the days to the big race. I'm wondering what issues I should look at. I came up with the following.

-Fix all leaks(oil/gas mostly)
-Get a helmet(assuming I can break 13.99)?
-Move the battery back to the front(just easier)
-Do a log and have her in good tune for the day of


I'm not sure what else I should do to the car. I was going to give it all a once over once all of the leaks are fixed. I'll probably clean up the engine bay some also. Just in case they look. So what am I missing?

Personal opinion:

Check CV boots, joints, your axles will be pretty stressed
Check tires for problems, bubbles in sidewall, etc.
Check shift linkages for potential issues.
Check brakes.
Check all important connections in engine bay, you'd hate to potentially waste your best run because of a plug wire or something equally minute.

In your case, I'd put an extra wrap or two of duct tape on all your intercooler pipes, and fasten down all electrical things laying around the interior.
