Pro-Ride uses a polymer that supposedly does not change with temperature. How has the Santa Anita track been these past couple of days? Any noticeable wet spots from the rain? Were they tilling more than usual to dry it out, or anything like that?
Needless to say, I have fallen behind in the drainage problems saga.  |
Yes they have been tilling it between every race, which they dont nornally do when its dry. I beleive they are still trying to learn what they need to do to service the Pro Ride under these conditions.
