speedflash 242 Posted April 20, 2018 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. Glyn 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

stevehone 3,430 Posted April 20, 2018 be careful, it was new shale at Kings Lynn last year that caused the fallout Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
speedflash 242 Posted April 20, 2018 (edited) 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. Glyn Edited April 20, 2018 by speedflash 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
