Probably the biggest thing is getting the right dirt. It has to have a good bit of clay in the dirt so it holds together, if it brakes up easily this would not be good. The clay Snowey is offering sounds good to me, if he is a contractor he would know what the clay/dirt is like he is offering you. But as most things, you won't know till you try it!

There are many racers here in the UK including all most all the top guys that would really want a indoor permanent dirt/clay track!!!

Good luck and keep us all in oOple land informed on your progreess!!!

Thanks.

Well i work outside (im a garden fencer) so i can easily get my hands of small amounts of clay and dirt/topsoil so i can mock some stuff together to try and figure out mixtures. Damping down before races wont be a problem either as i could run a type of sprinkler system just from the indoor hose pipe points. (garden moveable sprinklers which wont soak but should in theory just damp it down.

Im going to speak to my family tonight or tomorrow night and mention the amount of intrest and ill also try and get exact measurements and pictures.

Getting ahead of myself, but if (not saying it will) becomes popular there is also a adjacent unit which is empty with just a stud wall in the way with a further 100sqm of space, so could potentionally (once again if it all works fine have 250sqm space which would be easily be enough)
