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! 
Good idea! this will have to be considered by the YORCC committee..
That announcement will be made in due course, it will be one tyre so its fairer and cheaper for everyone.. |
I think TEMAC's surface went wrong at the Reedy race (Worlds warm up) when they piled on hundreds of tonnes of limestone to help dry the circuit which stopped it being pure clay.
