A thick, fully supported cross section also is advantageous in what we call the 'hammer drop' test. If someone drops a hammer or power drill on the track as they step across it, our track will be fine. At most you might raise a small nick with a sharp edge impact. The worst case scenario is that the nick occurs on the tire path and has to be filed smooth. With other aluminum tracks, the same 'hammer drop' will effectively end your race; sending everyone home until you receive and assemble a replacement section. |
