keep burnouts on public roads in isolated places

 

[66 Buick Special]

Sealing the asphalt with a product like you guys are talking about that is used in driveways does not comply with the county road standard in my area, not sure about yours. We've had contractors try to get away with that when trying to get their bond released. They've ended up either repaving or losing their bond when we've gone in and repaved it on thier dime.

I'm not sure if a streetsweeper would remove the marks as I've never noticed it occuring during the course of our work. Maybe a combination of low temp heating (so as not to damage the asphalt) and the wire gutter brooms on the sweeper might take them up but I'm only guessing. As stated earlier try pressure washing first.

Also be aware of the legality of putting any chemical down on the road especially if you are then rinsing it into the ditchline. If the property owner is REALLY pissy he could turn you into the EPA and you'd have much bigger problems than repaving the road. Technically what you'd be doing is creating a haz-mat spill.

Don't think the county would have all that much to say about a private road.
Naturally you would need to coat a whole section to hide the black marks.

My marks usally wash off with rain and traffic after a few days or a week . . . maybe time will help? Can he stall?

 

[SethT]

There really is no damage to the road. I don't think there is a case.

Exactly. Don't they wash off with rain water eventually any way?

 

[pizzi-man]

push come to shove take a garden sprayer and paint the road flat black

I agree, These 140's were gone in 2 months. I'd personally try the pressure washer. LK

 

[Chevyboy]

He could sandblast the road the rubber marks will evently fade away due to the road being weathered but that will take about 1-2 years trust me i laid down a wicked set of burns in front of my house which they are gone now but i tell you man those things was solid for the first year or so.

 

[Big White]

I doubt very seriously that there is a PRACTICAL way to remove burn out marks an 1/8 of mile long, especially if your cousin and buddies pulled a number of hole shots.

I'm not about to debate whether the property owner is just being a p**ck or whether the offenders can be held liable, but if indeed they have to make good on their indiscretions, it would seem that the least painful and most practical approach would be to hire a locale company that seals parking lots to top coat the drive and split the cost between those John Force wanabe's.

Sealing that much roadway is going to cost a fortune also. We once removed Harley burn-out marks from tile in a bar (don't ask) with bar gin. That was the only thing that worked. I quit gin after that. Rent a good powerwasher that wiil work. Also thanks - I was eyeballing a new industrial park here but may skip that for my "tire testing". Good Luck

Since the concensus seems to be renting the powerwasher, how about a Steam Jenny. Nothing cleans like heat. I have seem those things remove 20 year old ink off of printing equipment and make it look like it was never there.

I know at night time up here in North East Ga...It sounds like dragstrip atleast at my parents in the Northern part of Hall co...every road just about has some marks on it and especially my parents road with it mostly being family and all of us having rods the roads stay covered up with them...finally got to leave a set yesterday in my chevelle since I just got it running...

Depends on the tire compound....I laid a nice 60 footer down in front of a buddies house (his request ) about this time last year and they're still there today....A little faded, but still there.....

I think most chemical cleaners would affect the pavement as well. Tires have a large percentage of petroleum in them, just like pavement. Most solvents won't be able to discriminate between the 2, and I would guess that the pavement would not hold up as well as the heated rubber bonded to it.

I would opt for heat or pressure (sand or water) blasting. start at lower levels, then build up to the minimum needed to take it off.

Don't they use a blaster to take off the road lines when re-routing a lane during construction? Maybe a quick call to the DOT could help?

 

[Xplantdad]

I agree with Scott. The tire compund makes a big difference...


The marks left in the picture below were from redline radials on an almost brand new street in a subdivision that wasn't even open to the public yet...

They were gone within two weeks time

We had a paint tanker drive through town with the valve open and left a trail of yellow highway paint for a couple of miles and it was removed with a pressure washer, you can definetly tell where they were but it didnt damage the asphalt at all.

Obviously, it's not in his front yard so how unsitely can it be? I doubt if he really expects you to be able to successfully remove that melted rubber. Meet with him and see if you can come up with a figure that would make him happy and maybe teach you to be a little more considerate next time and leave your marks on a public road. Good luck.

the only reason they were gone was because big rigs turn around that corner as you can see by the dust on the road, as i stated before when you slide rubber on rubber it will take it away.

 

[Xplantdad]

Dude...it's Arizona....there is ALWAYS dust on ANY road...LOL
