The Weather Record
Our patented product is the only all-weather
track surface proven in the United States. Since
March 1998, our track has provided excellent
footing through:
- 23 Periods of drought
- 5 Hurricanes (Floyd, Isabel, Charley, Ivan, Jeanne)
- 12 inces of rain in 12 hours/Hurricane Floyd (see data below)
- 22 Floods
- Snow and Ice Accumulations
- Temperatures ranging from over 110 to -17 degrees
At our training facility, Tapeta™ has virtually
eliminated weather worries in an area known for
climactic change, and has resulted in reduced
injuries and lower track maintenance costs.
