I'd say it's been Boral painted like we've done up here in Bendigo.

Makes for an awesome amount of grip and is super easy to clean with the garden blowers

this pic isnt recent.

the surface has had boral coat layed down, but due to the amount of dirt that gets blown across the track from across the road. grip is much less then what bendigo has to offer.

however when we do have major events, we lay down sugar water/ or rather cola. which gives good traction.

That picture(s) were taken after the track was painted with the boral surface coat late last year, now with all the rain it's not quite as nice, but it will be as good when we prepare it for the KROMA Cup in January and VORTEC Vics in April next year.

We will be prepping the track as we did for this years KROMA Cup when the grip really came up.

Nice to see we have our own thread up here now! When I found it, I thought it was old, only to find it was just created today! Good stuff!

how did you go with your engine, did you find out why it had such low compression after a race?

Hey Brad! I was just looking at the results, and noticed that your engine in the finals flamed out @ the same time or close to it, during each final.
