I would think FG would be a excelant example because of the very wide range of the qualty of the stock.
Fairgrounds main track is pretty good. Like any track the weather can effect the surface either way. We have gotten a lot of rain in New Orleans and the track has been muddy in the AM about 1/2 the time the past few weeks but what can you do? Because the water tables are very shallow here the track retains moisture more than other dirt tracks.
