At Bradenton you could... but I am hearing at Gainsville, you had to pay for the disposal of it there???? I did not go t Gainsville....

Kinda odd that the NHRA owned track makes you pay more fees?????

Dear Sir/Madam,
I understand your firm will be the provider for hazardous materials disposal at the upcoming NHRA race at Gainesville, FL. Since your website is unavailable, I need to know what we, as racers, will need to be concerned with and the costs to us because this is some sort of new way of the sanctioning body "passing the buck" along to the racers!

First of all, I always used the designated containers that the track provided to dispose of our waste oil, however as the operator of a mechanical shop, I sometimes wondered if the barrels at most tracks (not all) were a safe and approved method of containing such waste! What do we need to have at our pit area (if anything) in order to bring our waste oil (if we even have any during the race) to you for disposal or to transport back to our own shop where we have approved storage for such waste? ie: I change my oil (7-8 qts.) and filter at track ! If I bring the oil and filter to you, what is the procedure and cost?

Any further specific advise will be appreciated!

Rich Price

It would be nice if one of the NHRA guy's would put a post on this forum and explain our option's on this issue. I shure would like to know more about it.

I emailed the company on the bottom of the NHRA video asking for a little clarification on the new procedures. Here is the email I received from them:

Kent,

We can provide all drums secondary containment and such at the track. In the past the track had provided these items free of charge. Unfortunately Florida DEP regs will not allow them to operate in the manner many racers have become accustomed. We have a booth across from the fuel island to assist you or provide any necessities you may need. If you have not entered the track, we will be at the gate as well in the morning beginning about 7 am.

Thank you,
Richard Prince

I then sent Richard a follow up email asking about pricing and procedure using a typical example if one of us were to change our oil and filter at the track with a couple oil soaked paper towels and a used brakeleen can. I have yet to hear from him. When I do I will post his response.

I think if NHRA would of told this up front this thread probably wouldn’t exist.

Kent
