Suitable Surface for Electric On-Road
 
Gidday Guys

Can you run on Tennis courts that have the green painted surface. ??

Can you run on polished varnished timber floor...???

They use both of those surfaces in Europe.

Hell, they run on astro-turf and call it off-road!

The best surface is red clay and run OffRoad.

Learn to spell while your at it.

Thank you guys,

might do a little looking into the tennis court surface. I am looking for something different to do during the week out here in the country, lighting is probably the biggest issue, unless we race in the main street :) :)

what about indoor basketball court with polished timber floor??

cheers paul.... ;) :)

I think the polished floor wouldn't provide any grip and you would have no control, so you would be drifting everywhere and you might crash, but if you know how to drift it would be cool on a huge surface like a basketball court

If you run on a polished timber basketball court it may be wise to use a traction compound i.e. a can of coke in a bucket of water and mop it on the boards. We used to use that when we ran indoors at Glenroy in the dim , dark ages....... :lol:

But make sure you remove the coating after the meeting , or else you will have some very irate basketballers ;)

Cheers
