I know last year we used fiberglass though I'm not really sure how it worked since we always had something dumb go wrong with the car and I wasn't on the event

not on the event (DUDE WHY DOESN'T NJ GET SOME EPIC TRIAL EVENTS LIKE THESE!)
but usually you should bring extras of the stuff you used while building. nails, screws, power tools, hammers, etc.
bringing some duct tape and some CA glue wouldn't hurt too, for last minute repairs.
