In NY, there seem to be several of the following:
-All Weather
-Mondo
-Rubber
-Cinder
How would these rank from fastest to slowest?

I was counting on LRC to know this! Anybody have the knowledge drop?
mondo is the fastest, not sure i would be able to tell the difference between an all weather/rubber track, and then cinders would be the slowest.
the time difference between all of them i think is negligible but i think you feel a little more energy return on the mondo, so it's more pleasant?
Thanks! Appreciate it.
Mondo is the leading brand of all-weather track, which is a general category including all rubberized tracks, such as Tartan, Stobitan, Eurotan, etc etc. They are all made with chunks of rubber and are very similar in characteristics.
Older tracks were made of dirt, cinders, tarmac, grass and whatnot and are slower to various degree.
The newer Mondo tracks are like the cheaterfly of tracks.
You should try each one for science.
