I'm nearing completion of an asphalt pad track in central Texas, and am looking at surface prep options. Most folks prep with sugar, of course. I am concerned about attracting ants and/or bees in my rural location. Plus, I would like to maintain as consistent a surface as possible throughout the week for practicing.

A top contender is VP's Lane Choice 7 track adhesive. Has anyone used it, and can you share your experiences? In particular, I am interested in:

Coverage... VP is recommending cutting 1 part LC7 with 2 parts methanol for this purpose, but can't say how much of the resulting mix I should expect to apply to my 9000 sqft pad (I assume about half of that square footage will be treated)

Longevity... how frequently does it need to be re-applied, or freshened with a light coat? How does light/moderate/heavy rain impact the coating?

Cross-compatibility... can you sugar over it, and with what effect? If not, is it possible to remove LC7 thoroughly?

Fun factor... what do you/your racers think of it as a prep?

It's not cheap, especially on just the manufacturer's say-so! Thanks in advance if you've got something to say.
