i wasn't a big fan of the crit course. at least not with 100 riders on it. way too hard to move up with all the damned panic brakers in the corners. i'd pass 20 guys on the straights, then get boxed and passed back around the outside in the first three corners. each time i thought i had the outermost lane locked up, someone would squeeze in and i'd have to tighten my line on the exit to avoid them. turn four was ok in that it was more of a sweeper and the slow guys didn't have a chance to get back around. and there were plenty of slow guys.
loved the circuit course.
