Does anyone know if the main entrance road to the velodrome is now coming in from another direction, or perhaps if the velodrome itself is differently oriented? I visited last year and it appears that one now approaches the straight away between turns 4 and 1. My memory from 1972 is that one approached the turn between 1 and 2, on the entrance road. Isn't it funny how one can retain an image from 34 years ago, and hold it in one's pictured memory? It was retained through trillions of nerve firings, and through thousands of days and nights without the fading one might expect on Kodak paper. I only rode the velodrome once back then, and would like to edit my memory to match the actual facts.
