Dave brings up a good point. The runway lights at Kentucky eat a couple planes every year. Lube up the brakes so they don't lock up and track straight.

My two cents would be to make sure that your steering and brakes work properly. If you have been flying on grass and now on concrete/runway, make sure it tracks straight with and without brakes...this way you won't be locking up and doing the brake -spin after landing.

This was the biggest lesson for me at Winamac in 2007.
