Years ago in the mid 80's Terre and I ran the Golden Ears ride in 
B.C.  Stat boards were used at that ride - it made for a really interesting 
time for those in camp.  At Rainbow, we have had radios for the past 3 
years and that enabled us to have stat boards.  Really great for those 
'spectators' in base camp especially when you don't see the 50's or 100's 
for 30+ miles!  I have always thought that venues with power and technology 
(not Rainbow!)  could come up with a great "stat" board.  And yes, side 
betting would be allowed!
