A little bit of patience and looking (indoor sports parks that replace their turf somewhat regularly are another good source) and an Astro track can be had for a lot less than anyone would think. I can't post an exact figure on the cost but I can put it this way - I know it will cost them less to turf over the entire track than what I know one of our (now defunct) clay tracks used to pay in labor and equipment rental to do a single track layout change.
