Friend was at Lawrenceburg Sat & when he pushed off to put heat in he cut down a brand new tire. Usually push off on the track but didn't, so use an older tire one you won't need maybe that night. Justa thought hindsight pretty good huh gang. Live & learn

First race of the new season and guys are cutting tires on trash. We cut a brand new one qualifying. Don't think it happened on the track, but coming back in. Nice little puncture right in the center of the tire. Needs some clean up.

Where I worked we had a lot of trucks that came in and out etc. We ran into a problem as employees were getting lots of flat tires back in the gravel parking lot.

How does this compare? Good question.

The Boss ordered a 4ft long magnet on wheels through Granger and the amount of metal Nails/screws/rivets picked and metal banding pieces picked up was amazing.

It didn't totally stop the flat problem but it cut the number down significantly.

Could you pull one around behind a quad? I would say so.

Something all tracks could think about, I know looking for a screw in a hayfield is near impossible but this works to a extent. A metal detector sweep couldn't hurt either.

From looking at their site (GRANGER) There are several types and strengths available.
This one looks perfect for hanging on a quad or something that can cover a lot of area
