You can put any curve you want on the surfaces, the fact is they arent as advertised. They have ripped the track out and relaid the surface, still wrong. It doesnt work because as I stated before they never laid the correct base. They were contacted by a party that did indeed tell them the tracks wouldnt drain properly with the base they had slated to install, they did it anyhow. These tracks were never laid with the horses best interest in mind, they were laid to increase handle.

Portland Meadows takes more rain than any track in the country, and has horses as bad, or worse, than any track in the WORLD. They do a good job there.
You give the tracks far too much credit. I still believe that they put them down because they were "maintenance free".
