Default Best spares to keep for mechanicals?

With more trackdays, wear and tear on the vehicles increases and broken parts becomes inevitable.
What spares (aside from a tire) do you guys keep on deck or bring with you to the track?
For me: Spare Front Brake Rotors & Wheel Hub Bearings

i have a set of spare rear brake calipers, front rotor rings, front knuckles, control arms.

I would like a spare diff/axles, eps rack.

What would you use to press in a wheel bearing at a track? I get the value in having a prepped knuckle but don't understand how you'd repair one trackside.

Are people having issues with the EPS rack? I've seen the torque sensor stuff but seems they're generally reliable.

- Spark plug
- Coil pack
- VTEC gaskets
- Driver door lock (I keep braking these, need a race seat)
- Brake pads

I am considering buying a new diff to put an OS Giken in. Would be nice to keep my current as a spare. Axles would be nice too but idk if I'd carry any of that stuff if I drive to an event. If I trailered, I wouldn't have the same space constraints.

A hammer, a 2x4, and two bearing cups (assuming you have a bearing press kit). I have a 20T press at home, but hubs break on Miata's all the time and it's turned into a 20 minute job tbh. I think the spark plug and coil pack is something I should start carrying spares of for sure.
