Spot on!
In all fairness to the track prep boss, he also manages the ski slopes just down the road. Now, I don't know a thing about skiing, but my guess is, he packs those slopes down real tight, also. He may have the absolute best prepared slopes in the nation. Unfortunately, that principle makes for some of the worst dirt surface conditions known to rubber.
I wonder if you have to run the same brand ski on each foot at the slopes?; or is it open foot rule? I don't know.
