I take a pretty full set of tools and minimal spares- brake parts (pads & rotors), spark plugs, spare tires and that is about it. I typically don't have crew with me nor the space to carry a spare trans or anything that big...
A pair of front uprights with bearings and hub, ready to go and a pair of axles.
Spare tranny if you have one.

I think this question should be asked in reverse. What do you want to be able to - or have the ability and time to - fix while you are at the track? If you answer that, then you can create a list of things that will suit your needs.
To some extent yes. I couple "How much am I willing to fix to still make the race weekend happen" with "What's the most likely stuff to break on a 16yr old car either due to wear or contact"
The basic jist is consumables and the moving parts..
clutch, brakes, wheel bearings, tie rods, hoses, with the occasional munched tranny.
I'm willing to change a clutch/tranny if I'm out of town. I'm not willing to swap an engine since it would be a gamble on a junkyard spare- I'll just pack up and go home. If I'm in town, I'll be willing to fix a bit more to finish a weekend.. BUT my house is 10 min away. I'll just load the car up, fix it in the comfort of my garage, then come back to the track in the morning.

No matter how much I crap I stuff into my trailer, it's never what I need.
So I bring general maintenance items: pads/rotors, fluids, beer. Anything else besides that needed and I ignore the first two and focus on the third.
