Added sugar!!! They were probably talking about sugar SAND which is about the same consistency as sugar. I built a track in my sideyard this spring that we love. Now, it's no professional track, but it is a great track that everyone loves and enjoys running on. It had been a hay field for about, oh, FOREVER. Mowing it down and dragging it SUCKED. It was a ton of work to bring it back to dirt, but it is just dirt and works great. It's 100'X50' with four lanes varying from 6' to 8' in width. We built burmed corners, tabletops, doubles, and some EXTREME wood jumps on the back straight. Oh there is a whoop section too. What ended up happening was the grass grew back on the infield and kind of grows on the track except for where the fast lines are. It is very technical and was FREE! We physically dug up many, many, many wheel barrow loads of dirt and built everything by hand. I have to take back the free part. We built the wood jumps and landers, and a 6' tall, 8' long, 4' wide podium with railings, drink holders, and ashtrays. I think we spent about $200. If you are interested in seeing pictures I think I may be able to find some that were taken a while ago before it was finished to post. I don't know if this is what you were looking for, but I hope it helps.
