Track Additives

[Maxd out]

Guys does any 1 know of a product that we can add to a clay surface to speed the process up for a blue groove racing line?

[Alex]

cordial+boncrete mix is one solution ive heard of?

[stone]

I can see the bondcrete working,and the cordial atracting ANTS and KIDS.LoL

[Boony]

i thought it was coke alex

[Alex]

coke, cordial, anything sweet and sugary really :)

personally id trust cordial more than coke! have you seen the effects of a coin dropped in coke and left for a few days...??

!whistle

[Boony]

well we'll get ur thing in ur avater to do some droppings lol

[Alex]

nah. too precious. cos itd be gold.

[golumn]

the only thing is to keep racing on it. how many club days has there been on the new surface??? its gonna need to break through the "green" period befor it will start to groove up

[Boony]

you should start to see an improvement soon but i dont think it would get to groove unless u get to race in some heat. might be a good thing bout this daylight savings yet

Ok ..Boncrete will not be happening as this seals the clay ,in turn the track does not retain any water & the track cracks up very badly......The coke idea is a good one as the coke dries out it leaves sugar behind these crystals are sharp when left to dry . At 1st i believe it chews through your tires but the track does blue groove up very well..So what would be wrong with wetting the track and placing raw sugar on the track rather than going to the expence of buying a coke syrip......Im thinking this is a cheap way of posibly getting a blue groove up very quickly. What do you guys think will it work ?

[Boony]

i think that it easier to just let the track naturally get a blue groove.less hassle and it makes it harder or more of a challenge if u like for the drivers

[Maxd out]

It is easyer for the new drivers to follow the blue groove or the racing line of a track if there is a black line & the only time the track get a slight blue groove is during the two days of racing @ the states.....2 weeks latter its gone .....Wouldnt you like to be wheel standing down the straight in you stadium truck ? the only way to do this is to place an aditive onto the track surface

the additives put into the Bibra Lake track (Ryper) were done for different reasons, different clay, different problem.

Ive also just been told to use soap..... powdered form then water it in ,this stops the erosion and gets a blue groove up

[KingBob]

Daz, what was that stuff i told you about ages ago that GT suggested after he saw it on some gardening show?

[Maxd out]

Yes i did some research on that product, its used in the bottom of a soak well and breaks down clay so water can pass through it ......no good for us

[daz75]

i vaguely remember reading an article where they use liquid sugar soap but im not sure if that was onroad or off?
