Natural turf is the best surface for a horse to race on. How can a dirt track attain a natural turf consistency using the existing soil? You can get pretty close by adding grass roots. StaLok Fiber is a synthetic fiber that mimics a natural grass root. Once blended into the track, StaLok Fiber creates a network structure, similar to a turf root zone. With the fiber’s flexible strength multiplied across the network, impact can be spread- increasing the track’s load bearing capacity.

StaLok Fiber maintains the network structure despite rain or drought, and provides resistance to the surface where impact occurs. Its like a cushion that makes racing safer and easier for the horse no matter what the weather throws at your track. Cushion is crucial with the world’s greatest athletes running at 30 mph. A horse can run quicker on a hard surface like concrete, but it won’t last long. Conversely, a soft surface not only slows the horse, but has long term damaging effects. The right cushion provides the horse with the right amount of firmness to run on, without becoming too hard- just like natural turf.

Mix StaLok Fiber yourself or get it Premixed with a customized track blend. StaLok Fiber provides cushion and load bearing strength to your track, but works even better in conjunction with Stabilizer for a dirt track. Please call us and discuss further with our track representative.
