That reminds me of the Homermobile.

get yourself a bonafide set o' tools:
•14/15mm open/box wrenches. Picked these up at the HomeDepot down the road
•Lockring Wrench or Lockring Pliers - thanks John@ Business Cycles! very worth it.
•Chainwhip (if needed) - 1/8" made by Wheels
•Chainring bolt tool/wide,flathead screwdriver

I like having each tool on its own. Wrap them up in a towel, wrap that with a spare toe strap, and stuff 'em in your bag.

Plus, torquing on a thin piece of metal for a good deal of time is not fun. You might hurt your beer-drinking hand.

Most swap outs at the track (if you are racing at a familiar track) are chain rings. A lot of racers at Ed Rudolph train on a 48t ring and race on a 50t ring. From what I have seen, 15t cog seems to be the choice.
