Perhaps in the interests of stretching the flow of traffic out of Churchill. Given they now have lights, how does it hurt, and it may ease the congestion leaving the parking lots.

It was pretty bad last year if you didn't know the back ways or where to park to get out fast. Churchill does a great job hosting big events- they probably reacted to the situation and tried to improve it.

Gotta say this is the first time I've ever heard of someone complaining about TOO MUCH good racing. (I'll probably be broke by that race though!)
