Race Weekend Camping Checklist (Starter)

By Darien Entwistle · October 16, 2026

📝 Starter post compiled from tips in the 12 Hours of Sebring 2026 write-up. Darien — expand it with your full gear list.

From the Sebring weekend

  • Camp stove, cooler full of ingredients, and a portable table. Cooking at camp turned every meal into quality time — breakfast burritos, grilled chicken with veggies and rice, pasta dinners, quick quesadillas.
  • Pick a camp spot wisely — easy access to the Fan Zone but far enough from the rowdiest areas to keep things peaceful.
  • Comfortable chairs and good shoes.
  • Backup viewing spots picked in advance — a shaded grandstand, a grassy berm, and a “home mound.”
  • Shower the night before race day. Future-you will thank present-you.
  • Pace yourself — build in rest, shade, and easy food so a 12-hour day feels exciting instead of exhausting.
  • Have a traffic backup plan — crank the music and take the scenic route.
