Other than that the usual
-power steering fluid
-water or radiator fluid
-motor oil
-tire gauge and portable pump (for changing your tire pressure depending on track condition. If you feel more grippy and unable to spin tires then just air up and if track gets cold, air down)
-jack ( I stopped after a few events since I got tired of lugging around a 50 lb jack and everyone and their mamas already brings one anyways, so just borrow one)
-tie rod and ends, and whatever suspension shit you have laying around
-zipties
-tools kit, but just the wrenches and sockets you would normally use anyways.
-water
-snacks
-portable chair of sorts
-window cleaner
-towels
-ramps
Before the event just go over your car carefully to make sure there is no leaks or loose parts.
And most important thing to bring is just a good spirit and have fun out there. Don't think that you're going to kill it out there and just do your best. Take advice from other drivers who are knowledgeable in the area and seek advice from those who are good drivers.
And the most important thing is to have fun.
Good luck.

correcto....first event...sr...you may go through a pair depending on your driving experience. But for the most part. Listen to the instructors...and realize...that even the best...didn't get it on their first run...takes great drivers half a day just to get it down a little. Frustration won't help....so just enjoy beating on the car...and remember....take things in strides....don't go out there without knowing your car.
basically meaning...don't push the limit untill you are comfortable.
And get the car aligned. max negative camber in front. half to -1 degree of camber in rear...zero toe all around...should be suffice. sr's are okay to have shitty tires all around...just don't buy super grippy tires all around, you'll be fighting her the whole time.
which event you plan on attending?
