Fake Dirt

[klemmabyna]

fake dirt thread was discussed here many years ago when first proposed. I had opinions based on my greyhound track experiences.

maybe too old for most, but:

get the dirt right and leave it alone.

it's not nice to fool with mother nature.

They use synthetic dirt on horse racing tracks (Turfway Park) but it is designed to let water shed easier and to make the track more consistent during a days worth of events...I don't think it would be good under the heat of tire spin and hot engines. ....but I know exactly Zer0 about it.

Boone puts wood chips in their dirt.

I've heard drivers say that the best surface that they had ever had raced on was in the south somewhere. The track spread cow manure on the surface and worked it in. Very fast and no dust. Honest ! Cant recall the name though. Anybody remember?
