So how are we going to tie down all the rocks and pebbles at the strip?

Jim,
I think the tires do the best job of tracking them up:-) At Joliet they used to have the restricted area standing on both sides of the tunnel directly in front of the tower, it is now way off to the left and right side. Not sure what size pebbles, but there have been a few good size holes thru the first pane of lower level glass in line with the burnout area. I've also picked up a few screws and bolts that fell off of cars near the water box.

Does this rule apply to bolted on collectors also? And what about "grudge" night at the local tracks? I've seen cars there I have refused to run beside.
