Clean AX tracks
Posted: Sun Jun 12, 2011 2:58 pmJerry, 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.

. 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.
