I still can't understand why some are so rabidly against the development and use of synthetic surfaces. The "dirt" used in tracks is certainly a very specialized, manufactured composition, and most obviously varies from track to track, and quite markedly in many instances. Other countries still successfully use synthetic surfaces in horse racing. The WEG World Championships were just successfully held on dressage and jumping arenas (and practice areas) of synthetic surface.
We'll see how long it takes the dirt track at SA to be deemed "well broken in" and optimal. The interesting part in this transition is the reveal - use of the base.
