I thought it was very educational what Alex Martin said about the Washougal Dirt in the post race interview. Being that he was raised by track owners I think he knows what he is talking about when he says "I think they need to bring in some dirt" and that the "top soil is all gone or been washed away".
Washougal is a great track but they do need to take care of the facility better and bring in some dirt! Making an investment in your track shows you care about the future of it. With a little effort that track could be hands down the best track in the world and the riders here in the PNW are some of the coolest around.

YZrider53 I sure do hope the old SandHill ranch gets to open again soon! How is Walnut Creek these days? That is one of my favorite places!
It used to be slick clay with lots of rocks.I always thought it made it unique.
When it got wet,it was like ice though - no traction especially on the uphill.
Had some pretty miserable mud race days back in the 80's & 90's up there.
It's hot and crowded here in WC. We've got a public hearing at the county Tuesday night for Sandhill, hopefully the last one, we're close...

Friends with the owners I may be a little biased. But I can tell you that they care very much about the facility . Now if they could figure out how to get the dirt from there personal privet track and bring it there the place would be epic
The rains here in the winter wash away most of the dirt I am sure. Recently some guy gave Mountain View a bunch of free dirt and even delivered it to them! Washougal should be able to get something somewhere but not sure. Maybe lots of sand and mulch would help? Most all tracks have to bring in dirt sooner or later.
