Nope, but the synthetic advocates keep spouting off improved numbers based on tracks that made the switch cause they had such high breakdown rates and of course their breakdown rates were going to improve the next year whether they stuck with the same track, put in a new dirt one, or put in a synthetic. That is what happens when you have an outlier in a data series, it regresses to the mean the following year.
