it's certainly a lot better than last meet in regards to the kickback and the times. maybe this plastic stuff will work out after all. i know that they changed the mixture to decrease the kickback and it looks like faster times resulted as well but.......... is the track still "safe"? i have to wonder if they are going faster, is it still as cushiony? isn't it the "cushion" that makes it "safe"?
since everyone seems to be going to it, i hope it works out and the adjustment they've made at turfway is encouraging but i still have concerns about long-term effects.
