I know most all of them.... but It would be nice to have a comprehensive list of all the tracks and their specific surfaces


I can pretty much tell by looking when i see them on camera but I just want a quick reference on paper

The poly stuff is pretty easy is to find. The difference in grass is lot harder. The difference in the real dirt is imposable. They are very different although probably not as different as they use to be.
