I think I have no real crits on cam. Well, maybe Hartford, but that's kind of bendy too. I'm thinking 4 corners, square/rectangle, and that's different from a meandering course (which apparently I like). Harlem crit would have been good to cam but I didn't. East Hartford Crit, another flat 4 corner. Naugatuck Crit, a 3 turn course, but the head official made me take off the cam (for no good reason than to show authority - many complaints about this particular official). The official btw originally thought I had a radio (illegal for me that year) but the cable was a cam connection. Instead of saying "Oh, okay" the official insisted I take all the stuff off.

Anyway, corners in crits are a bit different when you ease a bit, go through the turn, then accelerate. My Plainville clips has some stuff like that, Hartford a bit too.

have fun at the races,
