stodge 1,912 Report post Posted May 7, 2022 I've not watched the races but does "cutting out" mean kickback? New Polytrack surfaces are prone to kickback but it does settle after a while - a lot depends on the compound mix, the ambient temperature and the harrowing. As part of the track information, they should tell you the depth and frequency of harrowing - are NZ using going terms such as Standard or Standard to Slow for the new surface?
