I read in an old Open Wheel that a track somewhere in the Midwest years ago (20's -30's?) used juice from a nearby factory that made sauerkraut.

For all the oldtimers, if you remember seeing tires with greenish/gray sidewalls on cars or tire racks - that was the result of calcium chloride.

Best I can remember Gasoline was not too expensive before the "EPA" either and neither was calcium chloride.

I think it has something to do with what the "EPA" makes that make the cost of things go up. I think they call it "regulations", tons and tons of regulations.
