🎉 A Huge THANK YOU to Everyone Who Has Donated So Far! 🎉
We’re 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 — and we want to be transparent about where the funds are going.
🎯 Sound Coverage Goals
We’ve heard concerns about audio in the infield and during races, and here’s how we’re addressing it:
🔊 Stage One: Covered Grandstands
Only 2 of the 30-watt speakers currently work. We’re replacing them with 6–8 JBL AWC129 200-watt speakers powered by all-new amps and all-new wiring.
💰 Estimated Cost: $12,000–$15,000
Old: 109dB peak (only for short bursts)
New: 122dB continuous — louder, clearer, richer audio
Your donations are directly funding this first and most needed stage!
🏟️ Phase Two: Infield Upgrade
The infield has just six 30-watt speakers now. We’ll install 8–12 JBL 200-watt speakers, expanding both volume and coverage.
🪑 Phase Three: Uncovered Grandstands
These will get similar upgrades to ensure full coverage across the track.
⚠️ Race Day Volume Reality
Cars hit 130dB in the pits and 110–120dB 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.

We welcome them! Please DM us — we’re happy to explain or show the design in more detail.
