The answer is yes to both questions. He has a single agenda, bash polytrack at every opportunity, and facts do not get in his way.

My question is, does Polytrack itself, when exposed to very hot weather, retain heat to a greater extent than dirt?

I would think that when we see dirt tracks watered on warmer days, that in addition to keeping the dust down, the secondary effect is some release of heat.

I would guess that the physical temperature of Polytrack is higher given its makeup. That could certainly lead to more ontrack trauma.

Anyone know? Where's Quincy when we need him?
