he places a tool on the surface that measures how much rotational torque it takes to break traction

I have seen this tool being used or one I think is similar. Kind of like a suction cup deal?

Does anyone know were to purchase one?

Bringing a old thread back to life..
So if someone like myself had access to large quantities of toluene, methanol, and acetone at there disposal for free what would one mix? Looking to prep the street on occassion with it.

Just go on their website and request an MSDS.

Back in the late 70's we would burn out in a mixture of chlorox bleach and water. it worked ok

But to the OP, why the fuck don't you just go buy the stuff and stop worrying about what its made from?

For one being that i have access to all of the chemicals that some have speculated to be in Trackbite or pimp juice for FREE so why pay $30-$50 a gallon when I can mix it myself at work.

Does your employer know you are going to swipe chemicals for your hobby? LOL

I have pimp juice and I have some old 80's track bite in a jug.

Doing a flame test with the same amount poured onto Blacktop the pimpjuice is thinner and lighting it the flame burns hotter as in the flame was more blue while the trackbite was a little blue but more orange, and it stayed burning considerably longer than the PJ.

Prep time to prep the same patch in the driveway was less with Trackbite. I think that the PJ is cut a lot more than the trackbite. If using PJ on a surface with nothing on it its going to need ALOT more than the trackbite I used.

I did "the sneaker test" and after1 cup of each on the same driveway, same temp and just lighting the trackbite set up faster and stuck my shoe right away and was sticky already while the PJ was barely noticeable IMO and wouldn't stick anything...This is raw blacktop though with the same amount poured down.

As for no prep I raced one and spun the shit out of it off the line (stick/radial) so mneh, take it for what its worth.

At the Norwalk nationals, someone spilled a red drink a couple rows behind us and it made it's way down where our feet were. My GF asked what they were spraying to make the track sticky? I said I wasn't sure but could be the same crap someone spilled behind us.
