Same here. I’m hoping if I can get them up high to work that area in practice to get it sealed off, then open up the bottom and maybe use a leaf blower to keep the marbles off the banking between races it might have a chance at keeping the groves relatively equal.All the local tracks around here seem to get marbles/dust up out of the groove. I've always asked them to water that area at least at intermission if not every other race, it gives the guys on the outside somewhat of a chance, not a great chance but better than getting out in it and spinning out or hitting the wall.
I love the idea, just know most karters are bottom feeder lol. the high line will almost always have marbles, dust, etc. in itSame here.

Dirt instead of clay. Keep it very wet.I’m going to put my best foot forward and see if I can put something together. Just hoping someone out there has had success with it. I’d like to see someone fly around the outside passing those bottom people.
I wouldn't mind seeing a couple slide jobs lol, don't think many would be smooth enough to get it done clean though.You have to have the bottom flat and leave a lane or so up from that and have it banked well. Do the majority of your practice in the outside lane and open up the track to the full width towards the end of practice and for racing. As the night goes on the bottom will get better if guys choose to run there and clean it up. Many will choose to wait it out and ride in the clean top. Regardless racers will decide where the line will be. But I think if you focus on making the top good (not equal to the bottom) and leave the bottom kinda sub par at the beginning of the day it will be somewhat equal. The key is timing on when to open it up. If you see the track is getting really good fast you need to move the cones down so the bottom can get some bite to prevent people trying to pull slide jobs. The shortest way is the bottom and after awhile the line will usually go there and it is what it is and the key is hitting it with the right timing so it doesn’t get that way by the end of the night.
Just something to remember you cannot just let the bottom go to long and let it dry out to much till karts run it or it will never come in, karts gotta run it some while moisture is still present for it to get good and hold up.You have to have the bottom flat and leave a lane or so up from that and have it banked well.
