Many materials in Guild Wars 2 have a sink, a variety of ways of using them up.
Three materials from Heart of Thorns zones have insufficient sinks, and as such, are simply thrown away when acquired for many people. I have a proposal…with acknowledgements to others on the forums with some similar ideas.

Welcome to the Tyrian Luge! All races and teams welcome! We have a large track, greased year round by Airship oil! Lighting and power provided by Leyline Sparks! Construction and sleds modified with Auric Dust!
You can support your chosen team. Provide supply of needed resources to keep the track running. Witness the efforts, join in the cheering, bet on the winner!
Perhaps in the future, make a team of your own…
Meet the teams:
The Skritt : with a sled assembled from a variety of rickety parts, this team may be scattered, but they somehow manage to keep it going!
Team Asura: the judges keep having to stop the Asura from adding ‘upgrades’ to their sled, but this team of egostitistical brainaics will prove their genius
The Warband: The Charr won’t let anyone forge ahead of the best trills!
The Quaggans: These Quaggan have traded the seas for the fast track. As long as Tasoo doesn’t get motion sick…
Lion’s Pride: did you really think that the Black Lion company wouldn’t get in on this??
Others possible….
Basic concept: The idea of a luge was first proposed (to my knowledge) by another poster a couple of years ago, and there has been a running joke since Heart of Thorns about what to do with all the extra Airship Oil, Auric Dust, and Leyline Sparks. Our Guild(s) of players have batted around this particular idea for some time, but have always left it as a ‘would be really cool’ idea. I figured the time had come to actually send the idea in.
A track, as basic as required, could be built in one of the Cities. Several of the racial cities have a great amount of space available, though one could be placed in Lions Arch, and if successful, others could be put in other places. I realize it may break an image of a place for some people, so size and effect would be thought out.
As for implementation, it could be a spectator only sport, have some form of interaction, or even work up to an adventure style option. I think it would be hilarious, and fit within many of the greatly humourous details within Tyria. It could provide another sink for the Oil, Dust, and Sparks, and give a reason visiting the area the track is built. It is expandable- other tracks could be built to attract attention the particular zones or areas. I have a few other thoughts around this idea and others, but space is limited in this format. Better to whet the appetite..
I know, a little crazy, a little strange, and probably a lot of potential fun. Like the rest of Tyria!
