They use a wall scraper at Premier Speedway in Warrnambool Australia. First time I saw it,way back in 19994 I wondered why I'd never seen one here. I had the people that run the track send me some pics of the scraper which I passed onto a track here that scrapes the wall often. Nothing ever became of it though.
