I will help too. It looks really bad. A good amount of the dirt washed down towards the woods. We need more dirt.
Thanks,

I see where the dirt is washing under the walls and getting out. What I dont understand is we didnt have much problems with this before, now we have a drain installed in that turn and all of a sudden all the dirt is washing under the walls and out to the woods. Lets see if we can fix this first before we go buy more dirt. Whats the use of buying a load of dirt if it is gonna wash away too. Will it help to get a riding mower and pack down the dirt?
Thanks,

Mike, I have the pit lights temporary mounted on the drivers stand. The light didn't have the whole fixture piece so its not really mounted perm., also didn't have straps or nails to hold the wires in place, so the wires are ran under the drivers stand but out of the way for now. Couldn't find the other materials you were telling me about. They must've got moved somewhere in the store.

ahhhh,not the drain that caused the dirt to wash away...think about it,if the drain wasn't there then you would be missing allot more dirt...

No prob. wish I could've done more, hopefully I'll be there Sunday if the rain holds off.

I looked at the track while I was there lastnight, it really only looked bad at the top of the turn, if you're racing up there I'm gonna pass ya anyways, the only fast side of that oval is the outside of turn 1 and 2, incase anybody hasn't figured that out.
