I had heard a couple of the top three commented that this is what happens when sprints have enough track to grab onto and race rather than skating around. I agree, that's the way Bloomington always used to be nice fat cushion with a low groove coming out of the corners. There for about ten years it just was slick and mostly on the bottom. Seems the last couple years they've been hitting the prep better more often than not.
Check out Ballou's twitter feed and see what he says about the Half mile SAFE/SLICK's Your loosing fans and they ain't no safer when you slide right into a wall or can't stop on it.
