Clean track for WSB

[nmendell]

One thing to their credit: DMG never washed the track before a race.

This should be interesting . . .

How bad of a crash is there if they have to "wash" the track? Were they all out of fluff?

Time for "free track day" sign out front. cars and bikes all welcome - on track at the same time!!! that'll fix it.

The "dust/fluff" that is used really does not pick up synthetic oils. The only way to get the oils out of the surface is to pressure wash it out with some soap and high pressure hot water.

I've often wondered, why not use a truck w/ a jet engine in the back. Surly the heat would burn off any oil. I guess if it was a lot of oil it would just catch fire instead of evaporate?

They use them at the dragway. They clean the whole track fast, in under 6 seconds!

In AZ, to put heat into the track and some rubber on it, they would drag a pile of tires similar to tire barrier around the track behind a truck.

We would do that at our track in ABQ to clean up the surface rubber and then spray VHT on it. That's pretty standard for drag strips.

Would get mighty expensive for a road course.
