Its been 5 hours and the clod is still hard as a brick however the outer layer about 1/4 to 1/2" is disolving away. If the track does the same thing(and it does) the moisture never really gets down into it, therefore when we wheel pack it we don't do much more than just roll up the mud into clods similar to how bricks are made. The track needs someone to work it with a tractor and disc or harrie to get the moisture down into it so it will stay all night long and not "roll up" when we start racing on it. If it gets packed tight while its moist it won't roll up so bad. Thats my theory anyway, thought I would share it with everybody.

Point taken. But what really needs to be done to that track cant be done in the week between races. What they do to it in the off season is what I am looking forward to.
