I've read several posts here and elsewhere on this and wrecks in general at the HH100. It seems to me that the problem is "they" need to change the behavior of a large number of riders, and it just isn't going to happen. They could run the race the day before, but then have 2 days of traffic control they'd have to do. They could start the race earlier, and let y'all run with lights. That'd look neat, especially when cartwheeling over bottles dropped by riders that started still earlier anyway. But I digress. They could do away with the race, but they'd still have the issue of the "fast" riders running up on slow earlybirds. The problem is not new, and I expect the HH100 organizers have been scratching their heads over how to work it better for quite a few years.
