No Shrimp on the Barbie, and no prime rib either.
Alan, I don't really have any gadgets, but I did purchase this air compressor for the event. I didn't want to haul a generator, so it's a 12 volt job that seemed to get good reviews. We'll see. That's also a yoga mat that's pretty durable and doesn't absorb water, for crawling under the car should I need to.
I also have a few specific tools for the car and engine. The most valuable, in my opinion, is this 1/4" ratchet/extension/socket combo that I keep together just for the valve covers. I got tired of having the socket pull or fall off and wedging itself in some unreachable Twilight Zone area, so I have this extension that LOCKS onto the swivel and the socket is taped so that it doesn't wobble around or fall off. This thing never comes apart and is strictly for the engines I have. A swivel spark plug socket with a long extension is also an absolute must for any FE car with shock towers. But you and Jay don't have to worry about that
