Well, for the first few rungroups it certainly is :). By the time I ran at
the end of the day, the surface was not much (if any) better than if we had
not swept at all.

I would agree this is probably impossible. For THEIR uses now, a (true)
gravel lot would suffice. As such, it'd probably be a bit of an uphill
battle to say the least to persuade them to spend $$$ towards repaving what
is essentially thier "overflow" lot.

I will not be at Marina (out of town this coming weekend, running an Impala
SS in autocross at Impalafest in DFW TX), but....
guess my point is that at GGF, it is not (just) rubber bits piling up (and I
agree the rubber bits are "normal" at any event, regardless of what surface
we are running on). It is chunks of the surface itself that are coming up!
I don't know of any of our other sites where this is the case....although
Candlestick may be getting close.

We will be using the blower.

Yes, but it's pretty important to note here that we are not using the
non-concrete there as part of the racing surface ;)
