"Certified safe"

[pointman]

The thing that gets me about the whole dirt/synthetic safety argument is the assumption that the track surface causes all fatal breakdowns. Logic dictates that breakdowns can occur without the track playing any role in it, but we seem to be fed the conclusion that any breakdown must be the cause of the track. Regardless, I have no problem with tracks taking measures to ensure that their dirt surface is safe. It is a much cheaper way of dealing with the race surfaces than the garbage we have been fed about synthetics and while it will not eliminate break downs, keeping tracks vigilant regarding their dirt surfaces surely will reduce breakdowns.
