Hi Skip,

I have a real easy way to illustrate our problem.  Sit in a chair, lean
forward until your chest is on your thighs, now try to look far enough
forward to go 175-200 MPH (you do have your helmet on, right?).

I'm not sure what the answer is but using some biodegradable coloring should
be doable.  (food coloring, beet juice, etc.)

I was expecting to spend as much time as possible watching the side of the
track rather that straight forward, so side lines would be my preference.
It will be interesting to hear what McVicker, Toy, Amo's and the other
riders have to say.

Hi John, 
How do you drive/ride /steer the bike if you can't see the course? I would
think that visibility wouldn't be any different for a bike than a car? If
it is, maybe some changes are in order....other than a centerline.
Help me understand the problem.
Thanks, Skip (no experience with bikes on the salt)
