I saw a long firehose in the grass,that what they use,no truck?
because no access road was seen along the track,be tuff on those hills I guess.
But ,it looked super dangerous the spotty watering on that hard ground.
JH crash was on a mighty wet jump face.

The Shop
look at that mx2 m1 race and 450 m1 ,the overwatered areas ,which can happen a few ways,,cant drag the hose and stop blowing water in one place, the joint bewteen leaks while laying on a section of track. or just someone who doesnt care to make a landing or takeoff a mud hole.
it had to take seversl men to move thst hose around. Id much ratther have a truck do it, go to LLs and watch the skill of the water trucks,even ,light sprinkle.
I think a lot more tracks should utilize that method, not only for ease of use, but you also save a ton on not wasting water
The main thing is not to have a pto driven pump.
Use a pump with it's own engine so water pressure and volume is independent of truck speed or rpm.
you cant begin to water a straight away with a hose before one of these trucks waters the entire track,and just like a gentle rain to boot,
Pit Row
My pto pump went out and needs replaced immediately. I'm curious as to what setup you suggest JustMX? It seems like I've tried just about everything over the years. The gas powered pumps that I've tried on other trucks don't put out enough volume for the Oklahoma heat, I'm dried out by the time I fill the tank again. I like being able to use the throttle to adjust how far I'm spraying with the PTO powered pumps.
Adjust your throttle to cover the width you need and use your ground speed to adjust the volume.
If you want to get fancier you can rig up a hand throttle or a bypass valve if you have an air system.
they would bore holes with the hoses and by mid day a local massage expert would have to go to each flagger and work on their arm from cramping with all the crashes they caused.
one lap would be good,next the landing would have rivers of water running down. hated that place.
