Off the top of my head I'd be sure to bring:

1) Standard tools / wrenches / screwdriver / pliers / Torque Wrench etc.
2) Extra Oil, Antifreeze, Brake Fluid, Gear Oil
3) Food and Water
4) Long Pants (cotton/denim), Long Shirt (cotton)
5) SA2005 or SA2010 SNELL Helmet
6) Tire Pressure Gauge
7) Air Pump
8) Windex and Paper Towels, maybe some Rain-X
9) Foldy Chairs
10) +/- Beer for afterwards
11) Gas money. Fuel starve sucks.

To get your car ready for the track you will need brake pads (otherwise you will eat through your OEM ones). High Temp Brake fluid for brakes and clutch. And an oil cooler is recommended to keep the Z from going into limp mode. Not sure if oil heating up will be a problem at the end of Nov though. At VIR they do sell many of the above supplies in the track store, and there is a Dollar Store right down the road.

If you don't have a helmet I can possibly find a spare one for you to use.
