As the elite riders were nearly all up one end of pit row, may be a small grandstand or viewing mound at that end of the pits to allow spectators to look down the pit row and watch it unfold?
The top riders were all pretty much in the top-left of the Dyna Sys World Solo Pit Row, and spectators could look down into that area from the elevated mound near the DH finish area, and see straight down the main rows. Apart form 1800 to 2100 on Saturday, the tent up there was also available so you could look down in comfort too. This was briefed on the PA system at the event (I know, because I did it).Idea, set up a "spectator alley" so people can watch the elite boys and girls pit from behind a baricade so they wont get in the way of racers. I think this would be huge boost for riders as they would be cheered on by their fans as the come through pits.
We thought we had the answer This from the Event website ... Radio. The Scott 24hr will have its own 99.5 fm radio station which will broadcast the race commentary. This will be broadcast live from Stromlo Forest Park with all the excitement of the Scott 24hr including frequent up-dates on the racing events. So make sure that you bring a radio and tune in to hear all the action whilst on site!Not being able to hear the announcements or commentary in the pits was both a disappointment and a god send, not sure what the answer is on that one.
The whole purpose of this was so that you have your own PA System commentary anywhere in the pits (anywhere in Canberra, really) - whether it was your own Ghetto Blaster, or an iPod receving FM.
