Don't give up on Syn. Surfaces yet better things are or will be coming as they learn how to make it work for racing in different climates.

The issue should be evaluated by extrapliculating the Delta between investing millions to mordernize dirt vs. spending millions to change over to syn surfaces. That is the true answer to the issue.
It appears you have got it right. Wonder how many of the people that toot the horn for poly,cushion and tapeta also have a vested interest?
