[Land-speed] Trailer Maintenance

[Ed Weldon]

After I came back from Speedweek I did my usual big cleanup of my truck but
didn't get to cleaning the driverside rubber floormat.  The other day I
looked at it and noticed little puddles.  I know what they are.  The bits of
salt attracts water right out of the air and creates a little local salt
brine environment.  Now, I live in the California in a place where the
humidity runs pretty low during the day but increases during the cool
nights, maybe not as dry as Pahrump or Lancaster, CA but still pretty dry.
So I guess this can happen just about anywhere even in the southern desert
areas this time of year when the hurricanes off the Mexican west coast push
their moisture north into the US Southwest.
