Track DNA — what the dirt is really like

Hard-pack
Hard-packLoamSand
  • ▸Hard-pack: tacky and FAST when it’s prepped, slick as a parking lot right after rain, and it can polish into shiny “blue-groove” lines when bone dry.
  • ▸Sheds water at a normal pace — usually good 2–3 days after rain.
  • ▸High silt (57%) — this dirt turns to DUST when dry. Expect water trucks, hazy late motos, and pack extra air-filter prep.
  • ▸Genuine elevation (~36 m of relief) — real uphills and downhill braking zones, not just man-made jumps. Brakes and fitness matter here.
  • ▸Wettest months: Mar, May, Jun — highest mud/cancellation risk. Prime window: Aug, Sep, Oct.

What do these terms mean? ▾
Sand / Silt / Clay %:
What the topsoil is made of. More sand = looser and faster-draining. More clay = harder, slicker when wet. Silt is the fine dust-maker in between.
Loam:
A balanced sand/silt/clay mix — the tacky, rut-forming dirt riders love.
Blue-groove:
When dry hard-pack gets polished by tires into a shiny dark racing line — grippy for some tires, ice for others.
Drainage class:
USDA’s rating of how fast this ground sheds water — it predicts how soon after rain the track is rideable.
Soil series:
The official USDA name for this exact soil type (like a breed name for dirt).
Relief:
How much the ground rises and falls within the track’s ~1 km square — flat, rolling, or genuinely hilly.

Topsoil (0–15 cm) composition from USDA SSURGO soil survey. A guide to typical conditions — actual surface varies with prep, weather, and watering.
