I check the radiator for water so that it's actually in there... not for luck. :?

I have no superstitions, you make your own "luck".

I agree with Mikko. I always check my sparkplug cover now because I lost a race this year when I was leading by like a straight and the cover popped off with 2 to go. :lol:

Like everyone else, I check a few things - spark plug cap, radiator cap, baterry terminals, fuel cap. Nothing to do with luck.

One "funny" thing I do is when the 1min board goes up I always close my eyes and imagine what the start will be like - I find it helps me get focussed. I guess if I fall asleep it would be funny....

For me and some of the drivers I know, we'll never wear brand new things @ a race, like new racing suit, gloves, helmet....etc.
If it's brand new, we'll make sure we have wear it on the pratice before the race start.
We think if we wear brand new things @ race, we will have all sort of problems: engine failure, crash....etc, and can't finish on the race.
