Clean AX tracks

Postby Bill on Sun Jun 12, 2011 2:58 pm

Jerry, Mark,

Has the SDR considered getting a gas powered blower to clean the track after it's set up? I notice that other groups at the Q use these. If one of the reasons for parade laps is to 'dust off' the track', it might serve that purpose and, at least, eliminate that need as well as the ineffective brooming during the track walk. I think you can get them for about $150 (less than ice and water) and I'm willing to donate half of this if the club, or someone else, wants to donate the other half. I am, of course, assuming that this doesn't violate any rules or especially the intent of any rules, e.g. ".....no mechanical devices shall be used to set up the track", ".....cleaning the track makes it unfair for those running snow tires who don't care about debris", ".... anyone cleaning the track will be DNF and must do two corner working sessions", etc. :wink:

We have used them in the past, People usually just bring them from home.
That way we dont have gas in the trailer.
The trailer already has enough stuff in it :banghead:

Not a bad suggestion and a very kind offer to help purchase one. But maybe we need extra corner working sessions for those who DON"T help with the track :roflmao: . Thank you for your helpfulness and ideas! I am afraid that it would be a bit much to store it, especially with the possible safety issues of fuel cans in the trailer. :shock:

All the best
