you have to go with what works for you.

the routes at KEE and Dmr did favor closers, and I'm okay with it as they are limited special meets. the full meets at SA, Holly, Arl and TP on synthetics seem pretty balanced overall.

sometimes i think that people get so used to a speed bias that when they are faced with a fair track it initially appears biased.
