Just a few thoughts,

Could this problem be a byproduct of the nitro cars only running to 1000’?

Real racecars have to run an additional 320', under power, to the finish line.

How much crap is deposited on the track when the nitro cars get the chutes out?

No power to the ground leaves you with no rubber on the ground and a narrower and narrower groove.

In looking at the track on TV, it also appears that the spray job that they put down stops short of the 1320' finish line. But on the other hand the more they spray the more it costs.
