Disposal of waste fluid and environmental debris - Use of the drums located in several areas in the paddock(s) is mandatory for used oil, antifreeze, brake fluid, and other polluting material.  Spillage will not be tolerated and may result in ejection from the facility.  Participants are to take with them all used tires, batteries and unwanted parts.  Environmental debris left behind may result in fines or fees to the Participant or to the Associate Member leasing the facility.
