Attach the key to the bike with a lanyard.

Duct tape over your wheel weights, then write down the tire pressure on each piece of tape. At the track you will forget the pressures of your new Micherelli PowerSuperRace CorsaPros.

If you don't have the patience or competence to drill bolts for safety wire, purchase pre-drilled bolts. They are available for oil drain, brake calipers, and brake pad pins*. Safety wire is cheap and cheap wire pliers are available but you may be able to find some sucker at the track to wire them up for you after you have replaced your bolts.

(* I think the worst crash at RFR recently was caused when a Kawasaki's brake pads fell out and the rider went straight off the track at speed.)
