Default Re: When Leaders Lead

Handicap racing seems exciting to the fans only when it is close---the finish line. But, putting stands there is dangerous and drives up insurance costs. I've advocated for jumbo tron displays with a camera at the finish line. Fans can see just how close the racing is. However, jumbo tron displays are ridiculously expensive for local tracks. Instead, put a camera at the finish line, and stream the finish line camera with all the RT/ET data via a wireless local area network. Fans can see the finish on their smart phones and still enjoy the excitement of the starting line. This would be pretty cheap to install. Just my 2 cents.
