The Surface
Dirt That Holds Up All Day
Sandy loam is the whole point. It drains after a shower, it takes a rip, and it gives you grip where you expect to be sliding. That is why riders trailer past closer tracks to get here.

Prepped Before You Roll In
The track is watered and ripped before gates open, and it gets worked through the day on race days.
