Not even, if it's sand, some Portland mix and water will make concrete. I thinkn it's 2 shovels of sand, 1 shovel Portland and water.

4 feet down, under our "top soil" dirt we found a clay/sand mix, it seems to be hardening nicely and making a nice riding surface.

yeah man, we are always down for more people to ride with. I just need to get the track dialed because right now, its really soft (rebuilt half of it yesterday) and the jumps do not carry enough speed. another few days and it should be golden.
