AW on NY agenda

[Cannon Shell]

Polytracks are fine during wet weather but are not very good in really cold weather.

Define really cold it averages about 37 degrees in NY..Sure there are 5 degree days but thery are as often as 45 degree days.. Isn't Tapeta suppose to be well suited for cold at least that is what Sir Dickenson told me

And what of the windchill? It is Aqueduct. Synthetic tracks are designed to hold lots of water. When it is under 32 degrees, water freezes. When you cant put water on the track it gets way too loose. When you put water in at cold temperatures, it freezes and balls up. Hence the issue with cold and synthetic.

And I never believed any thing MD said when he was training, why should it be any different now?

A lie is not a lie if you believe it to be true...

Wind chill is a figure meant to estimate heat being taken away from a living endothermic body; the wind doesn't actually change the air temperature.

That said, air temperature is usually measured a few feet above the ground, so the ground can be a couple of degrees colder than the air temperature.

We now return you to your regularly scheduled synthetic track discussion.

I think that Polytrack is considered a living endothermic body according to the Bid.

Couldn't they heat the aw tracks ? They heat football fields so they don't freeze.

Forget AW

Aqueduct inner should install my Pay Dirt™ SYSTEM .

A proprietary blend featuring Safety Soil™ (a unique system of banking at the rail for drainage)

we oughta cut a small-time deal to install carpet, i mean Pay Dirt, for a small short term profit for my buddies, in the name of safety.
