Latest example, woman getting around cones and parking it on a street, was from Giro Di SF, a USAC event.

I personally had to dodge a head on with a car this season when this woman somehow made it on a closed course earlier this season.

Of course it isn't the norm, but it also on a fully closed courses (in theory).

Anyway, good luck to you, and I hope it will go without any issues. For me personally it's too much of a risk.
I'm not in the event. I just took the trouble to actually look it up before commenting. I like facts getting in the way of a good story.

But if it really is that sketchy I agree with you that the OP should pass. Nobody should be able to force him to risk his safety, that choice is his own.
