I just saw a post about a BMX track putting "slurry" on the track and asking for people to help.  Apparently, it's a clay, sand, and glue mixture that helps maintain the integrity of the track, limit ruts or other "imperfections", and provide for a ridable track, even after heavy rains.  Does anyone have any experience with this type of product?  Would this be something that might work for local tracks to help maintain jump sections or other sections of their tracks?  Could this be used in supercross whoops to reduce wear through the event?

Not a forever fix , needs repair quite often 

a very hard surface only as smooth as how it’s applied , poor application leads to very rough surface 

knobby tires would not grip well , bmx tires are very smooth normally slick in center
