    True, but they were rented/borrowed from the Iowa Speedway so its not like they own them.

      I've already rented four trash pumps to drain thousands of gallons of water off the track just to save a special event. The $1,000 I spent was a pittance compared to the investment I made in advertising and show money for racers with a long tow.

        Boyds Speedway in Chattanooga has/had a sprinkling system on the outside wall and could water when they wanted.

          usually they kept the bottom plenty wet to keep the cars up and the dust down.

            Marysville (CA) Raceway had a watering system that ran along the top of the walls, and the owner/promoter posted either on here or some other forum that it was a waste of time and money (mainly due to the challenges of evenly/consistently watering the surface while fighting changing winds, IIRC)
