    As fun as you are trying to be, you are not far from the truth.

    Sheeps foot, pack it, till/grade it up... Repeat this many many times.

    Whenever we put down new clay, the best/only way for it to pack somewhat correct, was nonstop laps with the grader, sheep foot, and packing trucks.

    Only way there gonna fix it is get a inline ripper that will allow them to get down below the new dirt .. that way the track can drain. For the life of Me I don't understand why they didn't do this before putting the new dirt on .. they put it on top of a sealed track . Now they have mush . Ran Push Truck for Earl for 10 years.. He had a Grader, Sheepsfoot and a Pickup truck for 50 years.. They continue to screw it up . Along with the banking. Tony needs to decide whether He's gonna play drag racing,Cup teams or Sprint teams or run a Racetrack. If it's the first three," sell it and put Chad Schmitmeyer Earls Grandson back in charge of track prep.

    Default fix the track

    Do like Volusia did for speedweeks. Remember they put new dirt down and it was awful racing. So what they did was scrape off the new dirt and the racing was good for the rest of speedweeks

    Wouldn't it be great to have them prep a track for a weekend. That way we can see some darn good racing on the best track surface of the year. I bet it would be race of the year lol.

    There actually are a lot of people in the sport that are excavators and other professionals that should know something about dirt.

    Don't cut yourself short. I'm sure you've forgotten more about dirt than we'll ever know.

    I'm certain you are much more credentialed than I. I don't claim to know much about dirt preparation. There are folks here that do know.

    Several years ago I went to a big race st tri state speedway Indiana an they had put wood chips in the dirt instead of saw dust and it came apart now that was rough but Eldora wasn't that rough a little rough makes for good racing most of the time but tri state is probably the best prepared track in the country now

    They sponsor 1 of Tonys race teams. I think they are Chinese or a Jap brand. If they are even half the machine of a Kubota then they would be a fair runner no doubt.
