Default How many people get flat tires at the track?

So far this year I have gotten two flats on my slicks at the track. First time was a little nail went through the slick and into my tube. Bought a new tube, then run two events and second event get another flat. This time it was a nice big staple in the slick then into the tube.

Just posting to see if this happens to a lot of people or if I am just having some bad luck. Also is there anyway to avoid this?
I notice when I walk through the pits I usually see nails and crap, and I pick them up. Maybe if the lots were cleaned better this would not happen as much. Just bored at work and venting b/c I had to spend another 50 bucks on a dam tube.

sucks that you had to replace stuff...

i usually tends to do my part to keep racing fun too by picking up sharp meatal objects on the ground at the pit.

I had my slick go flat during the take off and the car felt hella weird and pulling to one side. It came of the bead I guess during the burn out no harm just new slick needed.
