Driveway cleanup material I like using cat litter just fine for cleaning up ATF / gear oil / etc. on concrete. But it works so much better when ground to a fine powder. What is the best way to grind it up? Just an old blender? A corn mill? Is there something that's harbor-freight-able or able to be done in the kitchen when the wife is away?

It's in your kitty litter and it's what Nascar uses ground up. I know you can get it somewhere but I can't remember where. And it's fairly cheap.
EDIT: found the ground up type for pools. Sure you can find it elsewhere or at a speed shop or something cheaper.

Do a google search for "Speedy Dry", and you should find what you're looking for. It leaves a dusty mess but is good for big spills. It should be disposed of as hazardous waste, just like old oil.

Burnout marks cover well!
I use a fine oil dry, that is reuseable, until totally saturated.
The racetrack stuff is likely finely ground rice hulls.
Kitty litter will not totally absorb the oil, and leaves a residue, that still has to be mopped up.
In extreme cases, use the entire cat!

usually if we have some sitting around and spill say 1/2 quart if oil... we will use a tad bit of gas to get it up... garage floor is spotless needless to say..
