When Speedworld had the track ground we ended up with a uneven section of the right lane about 8-900 foot The grinder is only so wide and it has to make multiple passes to cut the entire lane down. At the 8-900 foot section the grinder ended up at a different level when cutting. It was in the groove and wasn't noticeable at first. But drivers kept complaining that they were getting loose and to check the track for fluid. This actually went on for a couple weeks and finally during the week we started running long straight boards across the lane ( left to right) and there it was about 1/4 to 3/8 inch of uneven cutting. It would alternate from first pass being higher then the second pass then the second pass would be higher then the first thus giving the wiggle feeling when driving over it. Contacted cutting company and they did come out to look and stated they would cut surface for a fee. Once everyone knew the problem and moved left of the groove about 1 foot, then problem went away. Sorry for the long story.
