The Roadside Straight, widened gradually over several years
invaluable,” comments Gary. The machine is used in
alternate directions as an end of season decompaction treatment, using the offset rotating blades to push the turf and topsoil sideways. In wet conditions it aids
drainage, allowing rainwater to get away, while on dry ground it has a crumbling effect on the sub-soil, improving root growth and root depth. “Last summer, we used it to
tackle an issue where rain on a raceday morning fell on good to firm ground and made the bends slippy. Just putting the Shockwave in the ground to about 108mm made a significant difference.” Another additional application
was to decompact a car park which is also used as a football and cricket pitch - after 33mm of rain there was no standing water. “The Shockwave has paid for itself already,” he says. Modern seed breeding
technology is another tool in the armoury, with a specific equestrian mix used for
overseeding. “It does exactly what is needed, with quick germination and we have 95% coverage of grass,” points out Gary. BAR SOS was used over the sand slits and he reports that they have recovered very well, which helps with consistency. With such a small full time
team, contractors and casuals are vital for successful racedays and preparations, Gary comments. “Most of the time it is just Martyn and myself but, from April, local contractors, farmers and our friends are on hand, and we couldn’t do it without them,” he says. “At the May meeting, we race
three times in five days, so it is a team effort to get the track back in between. On a raceday the whole track is visible to the crowd, so we need to be able to react to any incidents very quickly and it just wouldn’t be possible without our brilliant team.”
