As long as they run safe, that's enough to get my vote.

it's the same surface for all the contestants, and if it's safe, i agree, what's the problem ?
i see what you're saying on the splits, the times might be just a tick (1/5 sec) slower than the dirt but are really quite similar.

Hahaha,

I don't mind the polytrack and welcome it, but the thought of someone whacking off to it really got me tickled.

here's a pic of the macadam surface beneath the top layer of poly.

interesting to note, with the potential for lots of rain for Saratoga this weekend, the polytrack stays basically the same regardless of weather. You don't have to pull your hair out handicapping and re-handicapping like you do for dirt when it's wet.
