I have a small VIAIR compressor for refilling tires after track use. They are high quality and have been recommended to me by other track buddies. I do not know the exact model number out of my head but I can check. They are ultra compact and light weight.

Lots of options at Harbor Freight, both 12 Volt and 120 Volt.

Most of my racer friends have transitioned to the Li-Ion battery based inflators from Dewalt or Milwaukee. They're too slow to fill up a tire from flat, but perfect for adding a few psi at the track. I have the M12 Milwaukee one and love it.
For pressure gauges, pretty much everyone I know uses the Longacre digital ones these days. You see them up and down the paddock.

Not sure about track use but I keep this in my frunk in place of the oem compressor. Nice and compact and has tire fill option in case of a flat.

I got a gauge close to what tstafford has:

For portable compressors the ones that clip straight to the battery are better than the cigarette lighter plug ones. I bought a cheap HF pancake compressor for garage use (just tires) : https://www.harborfreight.com/3-gal-...sor-60637.html There is usually a coupon out and you can buy for $49.

When I used to rock crawl I had what I decided was the ultimate - a CO2 tank.
