So did you take that picture at Baghdad Speedway? lol
That water tank looks like the size they use at Brownstown Speedway!
The camel probably holds more water than that tank. You would save on diesel fuel though.
Someone, please notify North Florida if that "truck" is for sale, as it would be an improvement!
Yeah I am sure the camel would hold more.. But some tracks could use this for an improvement..
And some create a dam near rainout with there water trucks...........it ain't what you got, it's how you use it.
Twice in my lifetime I have seen a race cancelled 20 minutes before start time due to too much water on the track on a sunny day lol.. and no rain the previous days...
I've sat there a number of times pre-race wondering "enough water already" and then the start time gets delayed to run the excess water in.
It is easy to "over water" a track that is not cut up to absorb the water. Some "hard pan" near the surface tracks can not allow the water to soak into the totally sheepfooted overly compacted surfaces. They literally have slush sitting on top of an asphalt type hard surface.
Not sure Clayton was at many races at Brownstown this past year
Mid way into the season saw much improvement in watering the track I will admit.Quote:

Followed by a 2 hour wait for the promoter to go fill up the water truck, full size semi-tanker and within about 5 laps with the water truck, managed to get the whole semi and trailer stuck in turn one in his own mess....buried to every axle stuck....finally about 11 pm they actually cancelled the show, and gave everyone refunds at the front gate....
When I was about 8, I recall a night that the track was over-watered on a special show and they stayed and worked in the track and the first heats rolled off about 3 a.m. The final feature started as the sun was rising. I believe some guys left and raced elsewhere and then came back to race later that night. Talk about a LOOONG night.Quote:
