Bleach was oringinaly used to soften the tires back in the day but water is used at the track now because tire technology has advanced making for softer compounds.
The yellow powder is called resin it was used back in the 60's. Worked very well, I presume it provided enough traction because cars that were running in the 10's used it.

Anyone ever try toothpaste it's sticky?
