Yeah, track has no control over the mishaps that happen (unless of course its due to poor cleanup, etc). Accidents and oil downs happen, but if you got no runs and they didn't rain check you, thats messed up.

IMO the best way to keep oil downs to a minimum is to charge people when they happen, IF they didn't take any precautions to contain the fluid (diaper or other containment device). Problem is, people complain about down time, but then would bitch and moan if there was a fee involved, but they woudl eventually start keeping track of their stuff better, and cleanups would become a minimal problem.
