I'll have to make sure to look you up at the Cactus and thank you in person for all of your help with the info.

Mostly clay should work with the clay compounds at some point, depending on how much moisture the track will hold. Soft/clay compounds is what I'll probably work with. Either way, I'm going to have fun there.

And if I just can't get my stuff together for the offroad, there's always the go carts. LOl.

I have some clay tires I'm saving just to see how they do out here on the new track, I will report with my findings.

Interesting,

That could change my tire choice. Any particular reason as to the ban? I know the smell is pretty offensive with some sauces, though I think most now don't have the same smell.

With a sauce ban in place, is the use of simple green for cleaning tires ok? Sounds dumb, but I know a place or two that considered that a sauce as well.

no sauce mostly because of the odors and apparently after enough use when it soaks into the track it changes the consistency of the clay

That's a valid question. What is considered sauce? If Simple Green is ok to use to clean tires but is also known to soften tires, where is the line between stuff used to clean tires and sauce?

Gotch ya,

Knew the smell was an issue, on road carpet racers can attest to that. LOL.

The track/clay? Interesting. I thought that might be the case and didn't know what the effects would be on the track/clay. Not sure if there's a sure fire way to say. I'm sure there are plenty that would say yes, and plenty that would say no on the any effects to the track/clay from just sauce alone. Though if enough sauce, and I have no idea how much it would take, was on the track, it could pose some sort of hazmat issue with the clay. Which I can understand trying to avoid that.

That was the very reason I asked,

Not to open a can of worms, but to know if it was good to use for cleaning purposes.
