The Henry street section is a slight climb, more than 9 feet, but it's not a hill like the old Thater. They moved it because people just weren't coming to watch the races, and meanwhile the downtown is very busy on Saturday nights, so it will be a real twilight crit (the pro race anyway) and lots of college kids watching.
They hope this will happen.
