Tha AMA rule books say's 20ft minimum. That has been the rule for what? 40 years?
Both Millville and Washugal look very tight in many sections.

Would be nice if they changed it to 30ft for ama amature and 40ft for ama Pro.

Or is it this way to keep the speeds down and for safety?

In some cases I think there's actual width vs. usable width.

Last year at Washougal the section about usable line about three turns back from the finish line was really skinny. Like goat path skinny. I'm not sure that it was much physically wider this year, but the usable section was much wider. It was also a lot faster, since it had been straightened out.
