I'll admit I've been a complainer about the TH sound system for the last few years. Sitting off turn 4 in the open bleachers I'm not even sure those speakers worked. I'll agree with Charles - every track needs a good sound system. Why have a HoF announcer like Pat Sullivan if you can't hear him. Fans need to hear line-ups, interviews and updates. Even Little League fields have good speakers.
As far as costs go, I was told the new Anderson Speedway sound system cost over $40,000. If anyone went to the Little 500, they had Dirt Vision broadcast playing over their speakers. It was amazing sound. I'm not sure the TH Go Fund Me system is the way to go. Just another way to pressure the local fans to pay for a county fairgrounds. Doesn't seem fair. But time will tell.
PS. If this system works, maybe Brownstown Speedway can have a Go Fund Me page for new lights for their track. It's gotta be the darkest track in Indiana. Went there last Saturday and it seems like they're racing in the dark.
