Having a good announcer is more important now than ever. With the online streaming most fans are listening and watching that way.
As a racer I only need to hear the call to the lanes for my class. My hearing is horrible and i am near deaf without my hearing aids. One of the announcers at D2 blasts an
aa-oo-ga horn before he makes a call to the lanes for each class. That is perfect for me as I recognize the horn and listen closely for the class called. I have been to a few races where they used Whatsapp to communicate with the racers. That is a huge help to the hearing handicapped. I always sign up for the text to the lanes with NHRA but that system has never worked very well and is unreliable.
