Can anyone verify what type of track surface Hoosier has? The website has all-weather and yet people shipping to there swear it is dirt??!??

it is DIRT, they also have harness racing on that track and would be very costly to change every year, the turns are banked and on opening day last year the track was extremely fast

Thanks for the replies as I was confused that media from the track indicated all weather.... though technically I guess DIRT is all weather lol!

Anybody there that can give any names of training centers with turnout?

You're in the same state as Middleburg training track which has turn out for all the barns.
