I would love to see photos of the wall scraper from Australia if you still have them. Also, if anyone has photos of the one used at the KR, please let me know!

The photos they sent me a few years ago it wasn’t mounted. It was laying on the ground. I don’t know if I still have them.

It’s kind of like a snow plow mounted vertically with springs and can pivot to match the angle of the wall

The first draft of a new idea usually requires improving upon. I just thought it was interesting to see someone try something different. They also made sure that the "Eldora" signs on the wall were free of mud, too.

The scraper at Premier Speedway works good. One trip around the track and the wall is clean. If it didn’t work good there, I wouldn’t have recommended it to the track here.

Practice makes perfect for the wall when Nascar trucks racing events Wednesday night. Lol.
Our racing family's had a great weekend at Eldora and looking forward to see you guys at indiana sprint week racing events. Have fun and enjoy all the great things that we all love. Thanks.

Did you bounce off any walls and get upside down Rick? I heard earlier this year you were having problems maintaining......

I drew up plans for a wall scraper about 5 years ago. It went in the receiver on the back of a truck where the ball hitch goes. Stuck out past the side of the truck and was sort of spring loaded. Just thought it was alot of work for only a few people to use.
