One for all the MotoMoms and homeschool/compound kids who need some arts and craft time: Home made pit boards. Head to your local supply store, grab a 3/16” 2’x4’ piece of chalk board/white board (currently $10 or less in most markets), cut into three 16”x2’ sections, and go to town with hand-holes, stickers, rider to rider customization, etc.

Also a savings speaking to the kiddos - Start wearing ear plugs and mouth guards early. Teeth are expensive to fix and hearing loss is rarely discussed in racing circles.

+1 on the ear plugs. Wish I hadn't been a complete idiot when I was younger. Anybody tried the custom ones?

Buy an E bike and forget about air filters, octane stuff and gear oil. 

Become a fair weather rider & have a Plan "B" for the day.  That way if it's too hot, wet, dusty or cold you can just do something else fun.

Don't take any spare parts or gear with you. This way you don't deal with folks not returning the stuff.  If you need something and don't have it just call it a day and go with your Plan "B".
