There is no miracle cure for a system that doesnt work and if we get the rain they are projecting for today I dont care if the whole track was scotch guarded , its screwed.
So where do you think they are going to find material for a good "safe" racing surface? I mean its not like the old days where you can go dredge a river for fine even sandy loam . So other than Zia Park in N.M. where was the last "good" dirt surfaced installed?

When GP was redone, which wasn't that long ago. It is 10x better than old dirt course, complaints about the new dimensions not withstanding.
And the turf course is 1000x better than the old turf course, by the way.
These are not lost arts.
