How about a push sweeper?
After pushing a broom at several events and watch others sweep up at Norton :unimpressed: I thought there has to be better way. :ibrightdea:

I was also considering purchasing another leaf blower and bringing it to events.

Dang Don! I like the way you think! If money was no object... Maybe you should get a job with the government?

Re: How about a push sweeper?
They actually use a home built tracter/sweeper hybrid in Houston (at least they did a few years ago). It's funny how since they have it, it's 'required' to race. They held up afternoon runs for an extra 30 minutes to get the 'lunch sweep' through. Surface wasn't all that gravel-ly.

Re: How about a push sweeper?
For us it would be a step up, for them, they are wondering where the heck the jet blower went?

Re: How about a push sweeper?
Yep have seen and been on the wrong end of the jet blower many times. Big willow used to have one. You see the jet blowers comeout for wet tracks at Auto Club along with when they spread a bunch of kitty litter.
