I find myself staying up until 3am usually packing the car, watching WRC videos, or playing Richard Burns Rally on the PC! Its no wonder I'm exhausted at the end of the day...

Keep this in mind: 1 gallon = 8 pounds (approx). It's not about having a WRC class car either... most AutoX groups won't allow high profile cars (SUVs, trucks), but some do... shy of these exclusions, just about anything goes! Bring a mini-pit. If the facilities allow, a pop-up tent is a great respite when your not driving or working the course; camp chairs make life comfy; some basic tools in the event something needs to be addressed could be useful, too.
