I totally agree. Back when Mike Mann and a couple years ago, BP ran the top and kicked ass it was ALWAYS a great track. Ever since they put that black DIRT on the track it has been a one groove, no cushion, catfish track and my money spent there has dramatically decreased.
Thank the Lord the guys at Kokomo can perform magic and have the track racey 99% of the time.
