It seems to me that dirt race track owner could take some lessons from those people. They run 7 days a week on that track in season and keep that thing in perfect shape rain or drought.

I read an article about how the they constructed the track. They start out with a couple of feet of rock with drain tiles and irrigation system installed then they put several feet of special horse dirt on top of that. If it rains the water drains off if it is dry the irrigation system takes over. Then all they do is go over it with a drag to clean up all the poop and they are ready to go.

Granted they don't apply as much hp to their track, and horses do not dig up ruts but it would be a great place to start.

Or you could just enroll in the tri-state track maintenance class.

Honest Dad himself

That right there is the funniest thing i have read in a long time.

I think we need to make the cars wear horseshoes instead of tires also.
