Track Repair Deep cuts, scrapes or gouges in the track should be repaired. If needed, use the ladder that is behind the rail on the back straight (not the heavy ladder behind the rail on the front straight, which is for changing light bulbs). Always have someone brace the ladder. You should find a scraper, brush, dustpan, and pot of filler somewhere on the floor in the vicinity of the track table. Clean out all the loose splinters from the damaged area and fill. For very deep holes, a second application may be necessary. People should be able to ride over the patch after 10 or 15 minutes. Sweep all the debris down the track and clean it up before letting anyone on the track. Replace the ladder, filler, and other tools where you found them. For damage that cannot be repaired with filler, cordon off the affected part of the track and contact Bob Schelstraete at trackcycling@rogers.com |
