This appears similar to GG. Most seem to think that big, competitive fields make for better racing. I think the opposite. If you play tracks like GG selectively, you can actually do very well. I follow GG on a regular bases but I rarely bet more than 1 or 2 races a day there.

It's all about picking your spots. And, if you play a lot of other tracks, it's easier to resist the urge to bet races where you don't have an advantage/opinion.

This summer I'm focusing on DMR, AP, WO, and PID. I'll also, of course, be playing many of the non poly tracks.

Equibase uses TRAKUS data for the WO charts. Can't get anything more accurate out there. This makes the track a must to play.

Most of the focus seems to be on lowering takeout, while it should be on more accurate, more accessible, data, IMO.
