to all racers especially Jason----an oildown is ONLY oil deposited on the track surface starting from behind the burnout box all the way thru the turn off area IF it requires any type of mechanical equiptment(tractor sweeper etc,) AND it causes a delay in the racing activities----water and other fluids etc are considered an oildown ----any fluids cleaned up with a mop or a rag ARE NOT an oil down!!!!! It's only engine oil/gear lube, trans fluid AND IT/ that requires any type of mechanical equipment to clean it up!!!!!
