Syn to Dirt Beyer Converter

Apparently 79 is the break even point: 79 Beyer = 79 Dirt equivalent Beyer. Go lower than that and the dirt numbers are actually lower. I believe this is because the program uses a linear relationship, and 79 is where the two lines intersect.

It is actually 80.

Close enough! Thanks for the info, that's the only true method I've seen yet. Keeneland has a very complicated excel document on poly racing. Has anyone here looked at it?

Me too!

The poly database was pretty eye-opening. Got rid of a lot of the stigmas in my mind about this stuff.

I don't dispute that there is a difference or an adjustment needed to some figures, but is there an article or finding that shows how much the speeds are off? I mean, do we all agree that this "Synthetic to Dirt Conversion Program" is implementing it in the right way?
