I always felt that way about Haselton where it could turn into a long pace line in some stretches (too narrow to get the motorcycles through with bikes on both sides).
I thought the same thing. Having done both courses, I think the old oab was more narrow, with lots of bikes trying to pass each other. And, for some reason, the concentration of motorcycled officials seems high. I actually saw a moto hit someone one year (they recovered).
The new oab is wider and faster. However, I think it leads to more pack formation.
What drives me batty is that they still have both aob's. The Haselton feels like a waste. If you are going to keep the new one, extend it just a little more to get rid of the old one completely.
Take a short break from ST and read my blog:
