I like your idea on interactive announcing to coordinate with the video people.

In the winter we attend a lot of plays. As a convenience to their patrons who I assume are racers also and have lost most of their hearing they offer head sets so that we may also hear clearly the actors presenting their lines. Up until the time that I tried these things I didn't know how deaf I was. They actually helped me to enjoy the play.

Why not set up a concession to rent headphones/ear protectors for the fans. Make it reasonably>>number the headphones>>charge a couple of dollars rent for the night and secure them with drivers a license. Offer them for sale also for the regulars. Then the newbie as well as the regular would have the opportunity to listen to your play by play as well as the informative info on the drivers and class racing on the track. Racing is kind of hard for the novice fan to figure out, We don't we offer them a lot more information like TV does. This could only help crowd become involved in the action. What is a slide job where is the cushion who is on a winning streak who are the rivals. The modern day fan watches most of their races on TV so when they show up for a short track experience they are like fish out of water.
