π A Huge THANK YOU to Everyone Who Has Donated So Far! π
Weβre beyond grateful for the support our GoFundMe has received! Your donations are helping us upgrade the Terre Haute Action Track to a professional-grade sound system β and we want to be transparent about where the funds are going.
π― Sound Coverage Goals
Weβve heard concerns about audio in the infield and during races, and hereβs how weβre addressing it:
π Stage One: Covered Grandstands
Only 2 of the 30-watt speakers currently work. Weβre replacing them with 6β8 JBL AWC129 200-watt speakers powered by all-new amps and all-new wiring.
π° Estimated Cost: $12,000β$15,000
Old: 109dB peak (only for short bursts)
New: 122dB continuous β louder, clearer, richer audio
Your donations are directly funding this first and most needed stage!
ποΈ Phase Two: Infield Upgrade
The infield has just six 30-watt speakers now. Weβll install 8β12 JBL 200-watt speakers, expanding both volume and coverage.
πͺ Phase Three: Uncovered Grandstands
These will get similar upgrades to ensure full coverage across the track.
β οΈ Race Day Volume Reality
Cars hit 130dB in the pits and 110β120dB on track. While nothing can overpower that during racing, this new system will drastically improve pre-race, caution, and post-race clarity as well as boosting the volume so it can be heard more during the race.
π© Questions or Concerns?
We welcome them! Please DM us β weβre happy to explain or show the design in more detail.
