Ozite. There aren't many more alternatives that won't ruin your bearings.

The other guys have already given you the answer, Ozite.
We use it here, and its fantastic. All the big Carpet meetings use it.
If you want something, err, blue, check out the LRP carpet meeting thread - one of the organisers said what the carpet they used was in that thread..

As an owner(new)of a carpet track I have just gone through what you are about to go through.. 
CRC had the best price and i feel the best product,It has not fuzzed up to much,one thing to remember is limit your racers to one type of traction compound,dont let them use a bunch of different brands,it gums up your tires.Go to the web site of CRC and check the prices.They were about $1000 less than the ozite.(thats for where i'm at)My track is 80x40 and the total cost was $2096 shipped,glue was another $300.I never ever I do mean ever want to glue that much carpet down in a day..what a pain.. 
Good Luck

CRc carpet is the best.. it is the most widely used. there new foam backed carpet is the best.. It has killer grip.. At some of the track i run at we have this.. after your second pack your traction rolling.. Ie awesome grip.. this is what all tracks seem to be going to.. if you run oval and roafd course, its awesome.. no more worries about a groove i the track.. its there instantly

Prima Track GT gets my vote, quite a few places in the uk use it. Very good grip and hardly any fuzz/fluff at all.
