As introduced in our previous newsletter checklists for packing and safety, we assembled checklists for tasks & hardware that we would need for racing. As we would think of a task or item during preparation, that item sould be added to one of the checklists. Every time we forgot a task or item that was not on a checklist, we would add that to one of the checklists (shown next):
