Title: Firebird water
Post by: jyeager on January 29, 2016, 12:47:55 PM: So I wanted to show some of you guys on here how nasty the water is at Wild Horse pass Motorsports park. AKA "firebird"
It eats aluminum and coats everything in a white film of salt. We run our boat at the river after every pass and put vinegar in our warm up buckets to try to nutralize the ph.
Any way. Enjoy the carnage.

It grabs better and harder to pump.
