Firebird Raceway in Boise, Idaho
just took possession of their new PowerBoss Track
Scrubber this last weekend. I met Scott New at the
PRI show in Florida last December and we have been
talking ever since about the possibility of them purchasing
a Track Scrubber. We shipped the unit to Boise by
way of motor freight and I flew in last Friday and
began the training and installation of the new scrubber.
Saturday morning we really set our sights on getting
the staff at Firebird up to speed on how to operate
and maintain their new scrubber. All of the Firebird
staff and everyone else involved really took an interest
in learning how to use this machine to its fullest
potential and by late Saturday night we had pretty
much covered all the bases. It has really been my
privilege to get to know the New family and all of
their staff and I can truly say that Firebird Raceway
is one of the top elite tracks in the country. They
can take a lot of pride in their operation and the
way they make everyone feel right at home. Trust is
a very hard thing to earn in this world today and
if it were not for people like Chad Head, David Buyalos
and Royce Miller who really took a chance on us in
the early days we would have never gotten as far as
we have today. There are so many tracks that have
placed their trust in us and have been using the Track
Scrubber for several years now and we really appreciate
everyone for their support and their loyalty. |

Here's What Firebird Raceway
Had To Say |
Like a kid in a candy store,
the Firebird staff went right to work getting brought
up to speed on the tracks latest acquisitiona PowerBoss
Dragstrip Track Scrubber. Steve Garrett with Waynes
Industrial flew in from Texas to help train a motivated
and excited group of Firebird starting line officials
over the weekend.
The training seminar was not only
an eye opening experience, but also very beneficial.
Hands down, the new scrubber is an extraordinary piece
of equipment. It not only cleans up after an oil down,
but it is well suited to perform a number of other
applications, too.
Special thanks to Steve Garrett for
not only making the trip to Firebird, but also spending
pretty close to twenty hours at various times over
the weekend helping to train our staff. The only amazing
aspect to the day was the fact that not a single oil
down occurred all day or night (of the Street Machine/Gold
Cup race), a mighty fine tribute to all the first-rate
equipment that runs down the track at Firebird. But
leave it to Steve, he was kind enough to take a few
gallons of black gold early in the day and cover our
starting line concrete pad with a make-believe oil
down. Fortunately enough, the new PowerBoss scrubber
cleaned up to perfection and left the surface even
better than it was prior to the training exercise
in nearly less time than it took to pour it on the
ground.
The New family would also like to
pass along our appreciation to the Firebird team who
got up at nearly sun up, many hours before the start
of the racing day, to be brought up to speed on the
new machine. No doubt about it, the new PowerBoss
scrubber ROCKS! |

| In April of 2006, we took delivery of a Power Boss Track
Scrubber from Steve Garrett at Wayne's Industrial. We
have used the machine for two complete seasons and next
to the "Christmas Tree", it is the most important
piece of equipment at the facility! |

What a great machine for controlling
oil downs etc. We were awarded NHRA 2007 "Most
Improved Track". Your machine has given us credibility. |

Cordova Dragway Park has purchased
a high tech Track Scrubber. Utilized at NHRA National
Events, the "Boss Track Scrubber" is positively
the best system to clean up oil, antifreeze, transmission
fluids and almost any other product that destroys traction
on race track surfaces. "The Scrubber is an extremely
fast and efficient machine to clean-up oil downs"
said Scott Gardner. "It will decrease our down
time while efficiently restoring the track surface condition"
continued Gardner.
The Boss Scrubber will replace the
use of "rice hall" type products for clean-ups
on the quarter-mile race surface at CDP. In addition,
the Boss Scrubber will be used to clean the track surface
before race events as well as during larger events.
"We are only one of a hand full of race tracks
to get a Scrubber" mentioned Gardner. "Over
the next few years, use of the Boss Scrubber will be
the standard for all major tracks" he went on to
say.
In addition to the 100 gallon main soap solution tank,
the Scrubber also has two more 100 gallon tanks, one
with a mild mix soap solution and the other for fluid
recovery. In addition, the Scrubber also has a dryer
to evaporate any solutions remaining on the track after
a cleaning and also can be utilized to dry the track
surface after rain. |

In a continuing effort to make
dragstrip operations at Mission Raceway Park more efficient,
officials took delivery of a brand new piece of specialty
equipment designed specifically for cleaning and preparing
the racing surface.
Yesterday Steve Garrett of Waynes Industrial
Service completed a long tow from Grand Prairie Texas
to deliver a brand new PowerBoss Track Scrubber, a fabulous
piece of equipment that can perform a host of duties
faster and better than a crew doing it manually.
"This thing is amazing" said
MRP Race Director Wally Duperon Jr, " It can clean
up oil with a dual brush system, has a vacuum to remove
fluids and even has burners to help track drying."
Duperon Jr also said they can load it up with detergent
and scrub the track clean before a race.
With oil downs a constant issue, particularly
at major events, the PowerBoss, along with the new track
sweeper will make for quicker cleanups. "I've been
told this thing will clean up an oil down 4 to 5 times
faster than we could do before. We had some major downtime
in 2007, we needed this not only for the racers , but
our paying spectators." |

Motor Mile Dragway Competition
Director Steve Groseclose test drove a custom built
PowerBoss track scrubber from Wayne Industrial Services
yesterday, the latest addition to Motor Mile's efforts
to provide the best racing environment possible.
"Everything is special about this piece of equipment,"
commented Groseclose. "It has two sets of brushes
to clean up oil, a vacuum to remove fluids, and a set
of burners to dry the track. Wayne Industrial Services
told us it was one of the nicest PowerBoss machines
they'd ever converted for a dragstrip." |
