Thanks for checking out today’s video where we go over the hundreds of tires that are at the Abandoned Racetrack that I’ll be recycling. They were in the adjacent woodline, and even rolled down into active waterways. These are things that are pretty ridiculous to see, and unfortunately there’s no accountability for it by those who dumped them. Furthermore, that’s zero assistance available at the Government level for this type of situation.
What that means is that it’s up to us to clean up the mess.
If you’d like to help support this portion of the Track’s restoration, please take the time to visit the link below and pick up some merch. Every shirt takes care of approximately 2x tires, and the hoodies clean up about 3x.

If YOU are local and can help clean up these tires, shoot me an email at [email protected]
More to come on the track! Spring is here, albeit a WET one. Thanks for supporting by watching. See you guys in the next one!

WIN FREE MERCH! Drop your guess as to how many tires you think are in the big pile. When I get a grand total, I'll see who was closest and main you out some merch! Thanks for watching today's video. Cleaning up this disaster is a big thing on my checklist. Tires don't belong in the woods and waterways where the deer and turkeys are tripping over them.
369 tires. Thank you for recycling them correctly.
Thumbs Up !
If you're ever heading up to the Iron range, you can drop a load of them at my house in Saginaw, MN. I get down to the local transfer station often, and I can recycle 4 per trip for free.
Crazy to me that you have to pay to have these recycled. Here in Canada we have a recycling fee charged when you buy tires that makes it free to drop them off at your local landfill if you do them on your own.
I'd guess 202 tires. I just bought a T-shirt and tank top because I love your fbody videos! Can't wait to see them.
359
377 tars !
My number is 186 tires remaining
223 tires
I’d guess 223
328 tyres
Stagnant water sitting in tires is a wonderful breeding ground for mosquitos…
good to see you getting back to the track! my guess on tires is like 224 tires …. i have a felling once you get a search party out there to look around,that number may go up… if i lived closer to ya i would come out for free just to help out… on weekends.. sadly I'm all the way in Michigan…. if i ever do decide to make trip up that way for rail-faning ( train watching)… i make sure to reach out…
Use them on the infield of the track in the turns, make entry pylons at the end of the driveway, ect. There are all kinds of uses for used tires.
you can get jet heads for a pressure washer and hand jet the line.
good job!
You got any catalytic converters?
283 tyres. Keep up the good work 👍
If keep the conveyor belt remains. You would be suprized what you will end up using it for.
Great work man, keep at it
Thank You !

ask your local rugby club if they need some big tyres. they are used for strength training (tyre flips)
163 tires left
Maybe run a borescope up the drain to get a better view of whether its just clogged or actually collapsed. Hard to gauge how long that drain line is with gopro fish eye.. but assuming the pvc is 10ft, Guessing its 30-35ft?? Could rent a plumbing scope at a big box store for fairly cheap I would think
Not sure if it’s a thing over there, but over here in England we have a load of tyres to help with the silage clamp we have for the cows winter feed. Helps to weigh down and compact it all so there might be a local farmer who’d take and use them?
Back in my younger years I worked for a dude that picked up the used tires. We used to sell them to the concrete company by the trailer load. Got paid a little bit for it too. Not sure if that’s still a thing.
My guess is 367 tyres, yes t y r e s, not t i r e s! 😉
just turn them into diesel..better than a landfill..
Awesome you are trying to make the place really proper. Sets an example too. Only 193 more tyres to go…
if you know someone who snowmobiles that conveyor belt could be used on a trailer
167, I'm sure you can't wait for some nice weather!
85 tires left
287 tires in that one pile
379 tires
Man that is depressing seeing how small of a dent each load puts into the pile.
Thanks!
135. If I guessed a bit high I can just bring some out to add to the pile!!!
89 tires
ok bad guess then LOL
Tires make great retaining walls.
wheres the camaro vid
Very impressive and diverse tire collection you had! Pretty bummed to see it go to the proper owners.
All jokes aside, great work. Nice to see a track owner & operator that cares about more than just the track
you have Done a Great job in cleaning up the whole area
and my guess is 294 tires
I dont understand why you got to pay to get rid of them. In canada you pay a "tax" on your new tires so you can dispose of them for free. Also its bad to bring them to a landfill to get rid of them. They should be recycled.
