calcium is still being used and yes, it is very expensive and corrosive. it will take the chrome plating off steel after just one wet hot lap session. this is also one reason why a lot of states have gone to "brine" rather than "salt" when it ices up or snows. perhaps a "brine" solution in the water could help keep the tracks tacky, dust free and without a lot of ruts and holes????????????
