New shale

Recommended Posts

Now that the weather has been a little better and things are drying out nicely I am laying down some new shale for next weeks meeting.

This new material is a blend of clay and shale 70/20  20% being the clay content. This should change everything and get the racing lines back after a meeting or two to mix it up with the current surface.

Excellent news.  Middlo mentioned that there was a lot of lose stuff on the bends not doing very much.

The shale going on a Poole is proper stuff not cheap rubbish. Its a speedway blend to our specification . The other 10% is limestone 6mm to dust.

We have the proper stuff mate, as Glyn will tell you, proper red shale binds better than anything else.
