Ouch... and I was thinking super-light tires would be the way to go.
Are those wires magnetic?
Several years ago I saw some airport sweeper magnets for sale, and always wondered what they could be used for. I'm seeing magnets up to 84" on E-Bay that aren't too expensive if one couldn't con some used equipment from the airport.
Gang 2 or 3 of the 7' magnets together, and one should be able to clean the track in a couple of laps. With some luck, it would only need to be done occasionally, if time is tight, sweep during off hours.
