Youre right jim, aqu doesnt handle the rain as well. How often does it rain during winter racing though? We are takling about a track thats basically for the months of Dec-Feb

The composition of the track may not change, but the surface its self changes. It freezes, and they are constantly trying to even it out because they screwed it up taking the top 4 inches off.

They don't "harrow" it -- but they do use machinery on it routinely throughout a card to treat it. Machinery made by Cousins.

Can you imagine using that garbage "indoors"? Better bring the SCUBA gear so you can breath. Unbelievable.
