it would be nice if one could read thru a thread, and not find it cluttered with other garbage.

thanks to those who posted other info clarifying the issues with the track.

i think that poly may turn out no better than dirt. i think many of these tracks were due a change, and for whatever reason decided to go to poly. one thing it will bring about is fuller fields involving turf when it has to move to the main track.
BUT i think the line of bs involving this type of track was just that. it's been billed as being all-weather, when in fact cold temperatures are causing problems. of course dirt doesn't handle icy cold either. not as maintenance free as what was presented, kickback is an issue.

i think there was a rush to it. i think everyone knows that dirt tracks have to be re-furbished every so often. i know that some dirt tracks seem to be just fine regarding safety.

i think this poly was sold as a cure-all. it's not.
