In Florida, where I live, almost every auto parts store has a "waste oil" (not hazardous waste) recovery program. The county I live in (county next to the county for Gainesville) has solid waste disposal sites. The state/county encourges drop off of used motor oil. I don't know the law, for certain, but I think as long as the used oil is less then a certain amount, it is perfectly legal to transport it in the original containers (or even milk jugs), in your personal vehicle.
If NHRA/Gainesville raceway will not allow you to retain custody of your used oil, is that not a violation of the law? It is your property, is it not?

PS: Hi Rich, haven't seen you since the old days at the cabbage patch.

What happens when you get chosen for teardown and a piston gets pulled? Do you get to take your oil with you or are you required to go through this mess?

How about the s-s/s guy the "switches" oil for qualifing.........and then changes back. two times the disposal fee?

I try to use the oil to kill the weeds where I usually have to park, and to keep the mosquitos down.....and at night, the smoke from the grill usually can not be seen. (just kidding/disclaimer). I have always carried containers to return with oil, for re-use in ag equip. I try to leave the track with my pit area cleaner than it was when I got there, which usually isn't to difficult. If you arrive with 3 cases of oil and leave with 3 cases of oil, in a container....I see no reason for a problem.
