I know Mel and Tim and Rudy went "IN Search Of* two years ago to find suitable clay. The site they found was interesting to say the least. Driving home by it yesterday it seems they are nearing the end of that supply.

I imagine (Depending on your section of counrty) It can be quite hard to find the content you looking for. Its my understanding that Knoxville uses a clay dredged out of the Mississippi. The sand and ash content must have a ton to do with how dusty it gets. I know Earls clay used to come right off his corn fields. Where the latest batch came from?????

Bloomingtons always had a deep rich red clay on it since I can remember. I visited a track in Portsmouth OH. about ten years ago that had what looked like Play Doh on it.


Anyway. Its apreciated that even on dry nights. the visibility remains high. I've seen a few in the past coulple years (One fixed) that you could barely see cars on the track.

Lets go raicin!
