I agree too.  It was very nice to have a fire at Fazio, but it was right after a set of barriers, making it a bit hard to breathe.

I have noticed that there is a trend at cross races for people to start
small fires in fire pits throughout the race course and leave them
unnatended so they smolder. These do not appear to offer any benefit to
anyone other than to make my bike gear smell like I have been camping and
make me breathe in smoke while I am trying hard to get as much oxygen as
possible.
Can we agree that smoke and racing bikes dont go well together? And can
people stop leaving smoldering smoke pits going all day?
I am all for a campfire...but a well built and warm one makes very little
smoke (boy scouts y'all). Put it out when you are done with it...please?
