1 of everything and/or a back up car if you can. Sounds like your starting to get serious.Might be time to look for a couple cheap rollers and then find some parts lots at a garage sale ad and build you up back up cars or have a full stock of each part.Takes time depending on your budget but it is well worth it to pull that back up car out and throw your body on it.Then your more apt to take your time during a repair while you wait for your next round. You do not need to rush to get it together in time so you make no mistakes or are less likly to make mistakes.Back up cars are a must for professionals.Some have many.On most budgets though you can wait and take your time and find deals here and there and put together a good back up from a cheap roller and a few good deals.Deals are out there.You may have enough laeftovers of what you do not use now to trade off for what you want also.Most the time it is cheaper to build a back up unit out of used parts bought or traded for then to buy a few extra parts new.Just a thought.
