An inverter will work just fine. If you're concerned about killing the battery, run a dual battery set up. Buy a jumper box. Or if you must, harbor freight sells a small 2 stroke generator. It's dirt cheap and supposedly works pretty good.
Personally, I like bringing Popsicles to the track. I have a 12 volt edgestar fridge that'll run all the way down to -8 if I so want.

The shop fan I have is rated at 3amps or so I think. So a 100W inverter isn't gonna do it. Most the cheap little inverters I saw were rated at that. My buddy tried to run my fan off his 2014 ford 1/2 ton built in inverter today at the track. It tripped right away. The start up draws like double the current I think. I could use a junky little fan I guess. But I duno. Orielly has these 1000W generators for like $120. Might try one. Prob vibrate off my trailer
real sine wave, not modified. That baby was all of $150 and she'll run the hot plate full blast if I need it. Of course the battery can't put out that kinda power long, so I gotta run the truck.
Really though you should be happy with a little turd fan. A canopy and cold water is enough to keep ya cool even on the hottest days in the swamp.
Yeah the fridge is great for beer. Really it's great for anything, I can toss hot dogs in there and I ain't gotta worry about fishing water bottles out of hotdog water. It draws something like 2.5 amps at 12 volts. So I can let it sit all day and not crank the truck.
Btw I noticed Harbor Freight has that little 2 stroke generator on sale right now. $80. I might just go buy one myself lol
Ima give harbor freight a look, Thanks!
The company that builds them are into Moto and never thought of doing the same thing.
I have also used a small generator as well.

I have that 2 smoke HF generator. It can be handy and is loud as is the average generator, its no Honda. I had to put some black silicone on the petcock from the get go since it leaked and I didn't have anything else to use. Otherwise it is well worth the money, just take you a cord and set it somewhere the noise doesn't bother you and it will be fine. Noise is gonna be at all moto tracks, so it doesn't bother me a bit. Been riding since I was 4, I can't hear shit
