Drainage certainly seems like a problem if what i have read is true. Rain does indeed make the track faster but still safe, and we see a hell of a lot more rain than southern CA does!

I'm with sniper on this, i can't believe how much effort is being made about every break down since the synthetic surfaces came along. I've been watching US racing for a few years now, and in my eyes i used to see just as many break down then (if not more) as i see now that the synthetic surfaces have suffered.

Have these tracks not given long enough for the track to have 'settled in' do you think?
