It is very wide- there's always lots of room to spread out and no center line to have to worry about. It's easier for new people to move around and get used to riding close, but still allows them an out if they get uncomfortable. The groups tend to be smaller - lots of people just can't or don't want to go out on a weekday night to race. There are mentors - higher cat women volunteer to ride along and coach. The overall experience level is lower - so really new racers get to ride with other really new racers rather than being thrown right in with folks who've been at it for years.
I'm interested in Pacific Raceways, Eden, but wondering if the higher cat women you mentioned are there every week, or just at the nights with women's clinics? I think it could be really helpful to me, as a relatively new racer.
