Good to hear Mams. Maybe I’ll plan a trip there now.

[Mams]

You need to especially if you haven’t been there yet. Great facility & hopefully the new surface will take care of the rock problem once & for all.

See you in August!

CnB come on up, I can give you some good eating spots for before the race too.

Hopefully they went to Knoxville, Iowa or Fairbury, IL. to get some real dirt

[Barbecueboy]

So do they dig up the old stuff prior to putting the new on top ? What is that process?

[Mams]

Believe the old was dug up & sifted to remove all the rocks. From there l don’t know for sure.

[Barbecueboy]

Thank you....was figuring they would have to clean that up prior to putting something good on it.

I really hope they didn’t just put that stuff back down. Good actual clay has few rocks, crappy dirt, full of rocks. Use that stuff for the monster trucks or something, and get real clay. Somewhere around there has to be decent clay. There’s still plenty of farm land up there.

there is no good dirt (clay) in Ohio.

Can’t say for sure personally, there is clay, but good for a race track, I dunno. I know you race, and I have always been a heavy equipment operator, so both opinions are valid. I wanna say Midway got their clay by them, and I think it’s pretty good. Sharon in NE Ohio, went to wherever Port Royal got theirs to get theirs. So I dunno.

clay

I agree there may be clay, but not good for racing and be able to see clay. it is like the clay/dirt after it is run by cars, just omits a cloud of fine dust. settles on everything, like a silt.

Portsmouth, Southern Ohio Speedway, Brushcreek, Moler. are the worst
Eldora gets like that too.
If it gets wet, it ruts up and comes apart.
Portsmouth has a lot of river silt in it, because of the track going underwater every spring, which cannot be avoided.

Yeah people come from all over the world to Ohio twice a year so they can see a race on bad clay.

Attica and Fremont have 2 best surfaces in Ohio. Not sure where someone getting their info from. Guess if it isn't red and shiny slick but looks wet then it won't be good
