...everyone would race at Black Hill and the town might start to produce some decent bike riders again..

Hmmm.  Not everyone who currently races would race at Blackhill if it were the only course.  Plenty of people, esp from C grade down, would stop cycling.  It is the same argument that the HDCC President has pushed with the crit, and he has been voted down by his club - he wanted the multi-witch hat crit course because it was harder and improved fitness and skills, but the demise in racing numbers at HDCC crits was when the PResident had his way.  as much as I really like your President, I think he was wrong and that number attending the HDCC crits will return to their previous higher numbers once people become aware that the easier squoval course is being used.
