What happens here

Observe track personnel applying traction compound to the starting line. This process, known as 'spraying the track', involves using a specialized sprayer to lay down a sticky substance on the asphalt. This enhances tire grip for optimal launches. Document the appearance of the prepared track surface, noting areas where rubber has built up or been scraped away, which are crucial for racers' traction strategies.

Goal: Understand and document how the track surface is prepared for optimal traction.

Tools and materials

  • Camera/Phone GoPro — Recording the track preparation process
  • Traction Compound Sprayer — Applying sticky substance to the track (operated by track crew)
  • Traction Compound — Increasing tire grip on the drag strip
