I kind of agree, the CHRB mandated the synthetic surface with a shoot first ask questions later mentality. Now the track is a disaster and the state (not like they have any extra money to help out) is nowhere to be found. It's very unfair situation for the racing community out there. Plus if they went back to dirt, what's from stopping the CHRB from doing the same thing all over again and mandating some other kind of synthetic surface say 7-8 years down the road?
