Sure wish more tracks would use this stuff with track prep.

    Just one G.O.A.T. is all I've ever seen there!!!

      Just curious what the SDS sheet is on it. They used something at Atomic/KC when Nier had it for the DTWC, worked pretty good if I remember correctly.
      Up in the air who my next “favorite” driver is. Really losing hope on Bloomer getting anywhere back to “normal”.

        Nah. They still use it on construction yards, melting ice, etc.

          Wonder if the tires meet the ( cough, cough) benchmark after they run on it........

          Guess it really depends on who you are.
          Where is the move over flag when you need it?????

            I,ve watched Bob Sargent pour gallon jugs of something into the H2O truck before. Have no idea what it is. Track is always #1 !

                That's the same stuff they used on the track at the first dome race. Not much dust, but a lot of holes. They clearly used too much the last night, it was rougher than a night in jail.

                    I heard once that Muskingum County Speedway was using Downy fabric softener

                      What does Eldora use? I thought it has smelled like some sort of soap for the last few years. Whatever it is I think they used it at Brownstown for the No Way Out 40 cause it smelled the same.

                          It wasn’t bad. I’ve seen a lot worse.

                                There isn't any magic substance that's going to keep the track tacky and racy without drawbacks. Figuring out what a track needs (and that changes from week to week dependent on weather and the like) is a process that takes years to figure out.
