The difference is hardly anyone was willing to acknowledge that point last year, but suddenly when it goes against the safety line everyone can see the flaws.

Bingo. I haven't heard anyone say how many of the breakdowns at AP in 2006 were from big class dropdowns. Certainly, the Chicago Tribune never mentioned it. So I guess its ok to mention only the breakdowns if you are pro-synth. Part of the blame for the one sided media coverage must go to TVG. Simon Bray and Frank Lyons kept droning on and on how wonderful it is......"just like European racing....the field canters toward the quarter pole, then everyone starts trying". To Carruthers credit, I haven't heard him throwing bouquets toward the Polytrack crowd.
