Re: RaceDeck, Swisstrax, or similar within 100 miles of Detroit?

I would offer, but I am all the way in the cleveland area. Not too far, but not close either. Why not just use the $$$ you would have spent on the beer and gas and purchase yourself 20-30 tiles...

Re: Looking for DIRTY RaceDeck and Swisstrax pics

The white tiles of the regular finish will "clean up" just fine if you are willing to mop your garage floor every couple of weeks as I do. I was only suggesting the color change to light alloy as...
