BUT, you really should try and reduce the possibility of a rider being trapped with nowhere to go coming into the start of the hay-bales. Once the riders are inside the bales, you can look at many things to keep speed down and take away most bonehead attempts.
I am strictly trying to focus on the entrance to the entire "structure" that is where I can see most problems occuring (and likely at speed or hard on the brakes). It is good to provide a decent "way out" in the likely event that someone has misjudged their approach.
But I am glad you are taking the initiative to run it backwards, it will provide some much needed variation to the original layout :)
