Related to the "a day at the track is like a long ride", albeit one with a lot of sitting or spinning between efforts, what sort of nutrition do you all consume?

For 2-3 hours I'm drinking a couple Cokes, a bunch of water, and maybe a Lara bar. But combine that with 2-3 hours drive to get to the track, I'm going about 4-6 hours before the end of the day, and I'm pretty depleted by the end of the session. I feel like if I had some more protein or fats or something, it would be better, but I don't have much experience with drinks/bars and exercise. The efforts during the session will be 100% so I can't have too much real food.
