i don't know whether the track susbstance is the factor, or the track super, or the weather, or some combo of the above. they all seem to be made of essentially the same things--silica sand, rubber, wax. whether the mix is different, i don't know. but the maintenance may be the key, moreso than the ingredients. i'd say the difference would be like comparing charmin, angel soft, and quilted northern. only real difference is who gets your money.
