Good discussion,,, I am somewhat surprised by the fact that you guys seem to accept the long "National" course so easily. Its the one configuration I can honestly say I kind of hate.

It has been a good discussion and to one extent or another I agree with what has been said . . . except for Jimmy's last comment. :P
As one of the officials of last years event and this years I can tell you the decision of which course to use was hashed out over many discussions last year and was reviewed in depth again this year. It is a compromise between safety, cost, marketing, staffing and a number of other concerns, but then again most events make those same compromises in one form or another. I can also say that the choice of courses is likely to continue to be reviewed each year as the event evolves and these opinions will be taken into account.
One last point, while long flat out periods are boring for experienced racers and some students, they also provide a nice time to "collect oneself" for others.
