I was thinking of not using anything caffeinated until around 9-10pm. Do you reckon it's worth staying away from caffeine for a little while beforehand, to get a greater benefit?

Whatever food you do use, road test it beforehand - as in eating when you are riding.
A Ginsters may be lovely for lunch but could make you want to throw up 4 hours into racing. Physical exertion and nerves etc can play havoc with stomachs.
Solid foods make me feel really sick when racing. I eat a Torq gel per lap try and drink as much Torq as I can and from 9pm a swig of full fat coke each lap
