EXACTLY....I just noticed that in just a few months since I started racing My support equipment has doubled.....
 
yea i know.. i dont even race but since i got back into rc my "rc" stuff has stacked up.. i went from a truck and controler, a few tools, some batterys, and a fuel jug and bottle, to a half a garage of stuff and 3 nitros.. this hobbie is expensive but its not only the rc's its the "support equipment" lol
 
I though I took alot of poop, but damn you take the cake on that!
 
the pic of the table is not all mine...only the stuff in the first pic....lol..i don't smoke cancer sticks and the white cooler isn't mine either....or the fan......I was just shocked at how much it seems like lately.....and I don't bring a table or tent either.....but I do go for about 10-12 hours when I go on saturday....so I am there all day.....C'mon people snap pics of your pit area next race day.......
 
Lucky for me the track I go to has tables, chairs, pop machine, gas station a block away, air compresser, hose, buckets.... I do however bring a 2x3x3 multi layered pit box full of crap I don't usually need, my buggy, fuel, and radio. In the summer when I go over to my buddies house that has a track in the yard I sometimes try to scale it down, but often it ends up that I also bring the Maxx, and sometimes either or both onroads. The Nitro Rush has its own parking space over there lately, but it never gets played with. Add this to an X-Mod for after dark, a PSP, and a cooler I need a trailer to pull behind my full size pick up!
 
Try craming all of that in the back of a Jeep Wrangler. Some guys at my outdoor track bring grills, easy-up tents, coolers and run 2 or 3 classes. I have a big tub with fuel, stadium truck, starter box, TX, an RC10GT kit box w/ parts trays in it, car stand, towel and rags. Plus I have a plano 737 tackle box, a large Rubbermade tool box, 2 shallow plastic tubs with tires & wheels (rear), another cardboard box with front tires and a small folding card table. Before I got the card table I was taking 2 saw horses and a sheet of plywood. I don't have room for a grill, air compressor, tent or cooler. Oh yeah, I forgot the 100ft. power cord and power strip I have to take too. I quit taking a chair and just sit on my storage tub.
 
This is what our pits (mine and sl0eg1n's) look like at the end of the day.

This is how it looked when it was just me at the table at BARCAR when Team17 and I shared the EZup. Not much differnce. Of course, there's more stuff on the floor. (2 toolboxes, cooler, fuel, carrying box for my car, spare parts and foams). It's an organized mess!
