36Hrs since the end of the Shannons Insurance Snowy Mountains 1000. What have we learnt :
1) the start area was garbage. This we know. It will be fixed for next year. We did have plenty positive comments that least we were out there with a broom trying to improve it the situation, rather than just leave and do nothing like others.
2) spectators were to for away. It was s safety 1st approach this year, and we will be reviewing the distsnce and moving much closer
3) tv screen. This was very well received. This was put in place after suggestions from competitors at an event i organised in 2011. With some fine tuning and new software being written, it will be much better utilised next year.
It is unfortunate that there are some people out there, who didn't even attend the event, telling the whole world and other event organisers how terrible it was. Unfortunately you can't press the delete button for keyboard warriors.
I am very proud of what we achieved as an event at Cooma this year. All the things that need fixing (as above) can and will be fixed. I believe that is what sets us apart from similar events, is that we have listened last year and this year to the issues and fixed them, rather than ignore them and have the same issues 2 issues in a row.
With all the positive messages and phone calls we have received, and with the issues from this year being fixed, and actually listening o ALL the feedback, 2013 will be awesome.
SEE YA THERE!!!
