I found the turf at my local hobby store but if you need to purchase it online. Check out this link and then find the best price. This is the product I used.

Basically I first ran the cars on the Luan board. They ran pretty well but tended to slide a bit. After I installed the felt the cars ran great... for about 10 minutes. Then we had the vacuum out every 5 seconds removing the microgreen fibers we were picking up. Finally I used the spray on tack with the turf. This was the perfect surface for what we needed. We were going for fast turns and very low dust. The cars suffer just slightly on speed because the base is a little soft. A friend has asked to help make him another so I'll just take pictures while we make it and try and get them uploaded soon. Just remember _don't_ skimp on the tack. You have to spray it on after you have finished as well. This is probably the reason the tires tend not to rip up the surface.

- Edit: This turf in the large bottle says it will cover 50 cubic inches. You will need a thicker coat so it will only cover about half of that.

I really like the reverse tag. I wish we would have thought of that when everyone was together...
