Heh! That's exactly what I said the first time I ever spectated a bicycle race. It was at Blackhawk Farms. I've done countless laps at both BHF and RA on a motorcycle, and am used to races starting with motors nearly bouncing of of rev limiters that the eerie silence and only the clicking of cleats into pedals as noise was really disconcerting. Nice to know the track was well received.

FYI I looked at the course map for Greenbush, and if you've never been through there, unless they fixed stuff in the last two weeks, there's a section that's really pretty and twisty and rolling hills, but the pavement is really chewed up there. At least that's what it looked like from a motorbike. (It's the Kettle Moraine Dr. segment.)
