Back in "DAYS OF OLD" way before "tree-huggers" and the "EPA" they used this stuff called Calcium Chloride. It would get into the dirt and when combined with water would hold the dirt together and keep the dust down also. Most county and state road crews used it all the time on them old roads they used to build. But for people who like to B1tch about dirt track racing conditions I would suggest paved race tracks, although some do tend to dig up and rut up when the temp rises also. Perhaps we need inclosed dirt race tracks with A/C. and a constant temp and humidity. Give it a break people it's only dirt, and "GOD" not the "EPA" and surely not track promoter makes the weather conditions. Honest Dad himself ![]() ![]() |

it was basically a 55 gallon drum of "dish detergent". Didn't have a speck of dust for the 3 years I had the track, and, with the exception of the first time I graded the track myself (thank you to Jr. Smalley & Alan Barr for helping me out of that!), we never had any track prep after hot laps.....

Making an effort is also a prep secret.

Alan is still doing well. He lives in Cicero Indiana and you'll see him at the race track occasionally. He is doing well.
