I found something called Fiber Brace Asphalt Sheathin at Home Depot.
.5 inch thick and 4 by 8 for $6.38.

Definatly not a slippery surface but it could be too sticky, I might take a car in there to try it out.

Has anybody heard of this stuff and or tried using it for a track yet ??

definition

Temple Fiber Brace is structural fiberboard wall sheathing. It is a panel product made from lignocellulosic fibers (wood) and has a density between 10 and 31 pounds per cubic foot. The integral fiber bond is developed by interfelting of the fibers and enhanced with natural asphalt, producing the panel's structural performance and integrity. Fiber Brace is made from 100% southern pine fiber generated from sawmill residue. The separate asphalt coating on both sides and all edges imparts added strength and water protection. When installed properly, Fiber Brace is recognized as a structural wall bracing panel providing acceptable racking resistance for exterior walls.
