ok i gave it a shot and it works! im just curious how much the dirt is gonna stick on the track. but here's what you do: take a drop of maple syrup and spread it around the tire with a tooth brush. if there's too much it looks glossy which means its no good(not sticky). if you put too much on take a paper towel and just wipe it off untill it looks just a little wet. wait about 3min. and its perfect!
it feels just like zip free!

The guy who runs the parking lot races at my LHS uses a mixture of maple syrup and denatured alcohol in a sprayer to treat the entire track.

Not just any maple syrup, CANADIAN maple syrup. It's better on pancakes too.
