Need ideas to improve rough asphalt
We are looking at a location to run our on road club races that is a perfect high exposure location. The issue we are trying to find a cheap answer to is the old asphalt has quite a lot of aggregate exposed making it pretty abrasive.
I know we could seal and that would help and of course an asphalt overlay...too expensive. The pad is approx 250' x 225' So, looking for some ideas to help that are not too cost prohibitive. Thanks Mark |

LIKE THEY SAY YOU BUILD IT THEY WILL COME We could fine other locations with better asphalt, but probably not a better high exposure location...we would love to make this work. I think we will probably have to make due if we use it for a few months until we get the car count built up...but you never know:D |

if its 'overly' rough sealer will NOT do what you need to do
we seal our track every other year although quite costly and the costs of such almost doubled last year it is worth the investment we use a mixture of 2-3% of FINE silica sand [NOT play sand!!] it gives quite a bit of traction & tire wear is at a minimum IF sealing will NOT give you the surface [a test area is needed to try] overlay is your only other alternative Sorry!! we have some pics off our front page for you to check out "www.ovrccc.com" Thankx, Bill |
WILL WE DID THE SAME HAS KISS TRACK SEALER NO SAND !!!!!!!! SAND EATS THE TIRES TRACTION WENT UP AND TIRE WEAR WENT DOWN
|
ALSO LOOK HERE IN NITRO UNDER MUST READ U CAB SEE WHAT PEOPLE WROTE ABOUT ARE JOB WE DID TO THE TRACK ALSO SOME PICS

we experienced the same issue with tire wear when we used the wrong sand
but with using a very fine sand tire wear was held to a minimum and with nitro touring you need ALL the traction you can get!!! LOL!! Speedy |
