The Cost of Synthetic Tracks

[Lurker]

Much has been written about the high costs of installing and maintaining the artificial surfaces in California.

For the sake of this discussion, let's just assume that synthetics have cost $10 million dollars more than was being spent on dirt tracks.

If the decision to change was never made, and dirt was still the product of choice, where would that $10 million dollars be today?

Whoever actually wrote the checks, is it paid in full, on a payment plan or was a loan taken out?

thanks, justcurious.

at least 5 million of that was grease to the right people.

That's what I've heard too. I wonder if Shapiro had an indemnity clause in his contract with the CHRB that covered such edicts he may come up with or perhaps he didn't & that's why he resigned so suddenly.........
