Thinking back to being on a clean up crew at the first CART race, you chuck the stuff down like laying seed, dab it in with the brush, then use a leaf blower (like a hoover in reverse!) to blow it away.

IIRC, this stuff has a more common name - Fuller's Earth, or cat litter!
RMS still do use the course and fine - very effective stuff. On a windy day, you break your back getting low enough to get any on the right spot!

You were on the first cleanup crew at CART - me too! Great event!
