I agree with Todd ... a GREAT course and the series is killer.

But that corner was sketchy. Towards the end of the A race a rider was almost
stopped in that corner (technical issue?) and the fellow in front of me (believe
it was Joshua Liberles that was putting the hurt on me) was forced into the
wrong lane. Had there been any oncoming traffic at that moment it would have
been really ugly.

I agree, fun course! Excellent creativity. My only concern was that one section
on the pavement where the two directions were separated by a single line of
yellow cones. It was right after you come off the grass south of the velodrome
and right before you get onto the grass coming into the square "infield" before
the finish. It's a pretty sharp corner coming into that section from both
directions and on the last few laps I came in a little hot got a little close to
the yellow cones. A mishap there could be a bad one (head on).

Anyway, constructive criticism. Another fun evening of racing, thanks to those
supporting and putting it on. Love the midweek opportunity...

I agree on all accounts listed below. The course was excellent last night and the lighting in "The Corner" (should it have its own name?) was excellent.

I do agree with Todd about the one section with 2 way traffic. During the daytime, I think it is ok, but at night it was hard to see and not everyone races with lights so sometimes you have no idea if a collision might happen.

Everything else was excellent.

Wow! That course tonight was fantastic! Easily the best Blind Date yet.

In the spirit of blind dating, I didn't pre-ride and could barely get through the first lap fast enough to lose my breath, but gradually I started get the hang of it...until the last lap when I nearly missed two of the turns. I'm blaming the darkness.

Great job and many thanks to everyone whose hard work made this possible!
