how are you finding it drains? having put the clay straight on top of the grass/existing compacted top layer, they did that at basildon for the worlds track, It caused a bit of a problem down the line.... |
I'm sure they used the native dirt on site for TEMAC, I went there several times - its sand percentage was too high so it dug up badly and that with a little rain made for a very a rough surface, also I believe their major drainage problem was that the track was built on a slope so naturally all the water drained to the bottom where it settled and got pretty bad. Our clay is on top of the existing very sandy ground, we have tested every month through the winter so if we can do that the summer will be no problem, some parts of the clay are nearly 5 feet above the existing ground level hence any water runs off and drains away - plus we have have our massive track cover like Vaasa had, showers are no problem at all, its cloudbursts or sudden very heavy (proper rain!) showers that would be the problem but they cause issues on every surface.. Besides if there is some sort of weather catastrophe all we need do is walk 40 feet to the astro track hah!

Just need to beg Jimmy to run SCT's at Invernational now!
James, can you put in for a SCT National if you have spare dates, There is a crew that run the meeting, it's just a case of supplying venue... Exactly what the championship needs! |
Good idea! this will have to be considered by the YORCC committee..
