Asphalt Traction - Sugar to Water Ratio
Does anyone know a good ratio of mixing sugar and water for asphalt traction? We have used orange soda for the last several seasons, but looking for a way to cut some costs at the local track. Any help would be appreciated.

You can buy 3 liter bottles of grape soda at Walmart or a place like that for less than a buck each. Buy 5 bucks worth a week and you should be fine. Only need it on all the corners.

Grape soda is used alot. I don't know the ratios but, I've seen people also use pancake syrup mixed with water. Warm water is used to help syrup dissolve quicker. Syrup and water help cut down on the cost of spraying soda.

Aaaaaaaaaaaah sugarwater
My perosnal rce blend is a bag of sugar, 3:1 sugar to water ratio boiled to the point where it starts binding. Then pulling that off the fire and mixing it a gallon of water. Spray it on, let it dry and keep the mini's off the track.

We have a product that mixes with water and will last for more then one race week, We usually put it down monthly.
MMR Track Grip. Have the track contact us.
Works with foam and rubber tires, does not attract Dirt, is not sticky to the touch but gives a very consistent grip that lasts. bonus is it does not wash off in the rain.
