Track Meet Steeplechase Surface Question

3/15/2012

1 Comment

 
I’ve had a couple of questions about the foam surface for the steeplechase.  When I first put this together there was only one form of DUCT Easy Shelf Liner.  Now there are two available, they are:

DUCT EasyLiner Select Grip and
DUCT EasyLiner Smooth Top

Picture
Maybe they were both available before, but the one I’ve got on ours is smooth on both sides.  So here is what I’m proposing:

I am going to recover the set I have with the SMOOTH TOP liner and with the smooth side glued down and the bumpier side up (for better traction and easier gluing).  The SELECT GRIP would not work as well if anyone is trying to use light sensors, so I’m going to stay away from that one; it has holes that would potentially give problems with the readings.

So use the SMOOTH TOP with the smooth side down and the rough side showing.

Sorry for any inconvenience, I’m going to put this one in the “outside of my control” category.  The original roll that I had purchased from the store had the same surface on both sides, so when I received a couple of questions this week about this I had to figure out why you all were asking about the different sides.  

If anyone thinks this is going to be a major problem for them, let me know and perhaps we’ll run an A and a B course with the different coverings, but I’m hoping not.
