Del Mar PolyTrack

Friday, February 23rd

This week, filter fabric is being placed on over the underlying base of the track surface and a layer of clean blue granite rock added on top of that.

The next step, now scheduled to get underway on March 2, will be the laying of a layer of porous macadam (asphalt) over the entire surface.


Drainage pipes have been installed and covered with aggregate. The existing sub-base was leveled and compacted.

Filter fabric is rolled out on the 7-furlong chute. covering everything but the area over the perforated drainage pipes.

Clean crushed blue granite stone is applied and spread evenly over the surface of the track, readying it for the porous macadam.

Meanwhile, the "mountains" of the blended Polytrack material grow on the track's backside.
