I still think this is a non-issue. We almost never are waiting for either cars or workers anymore and worker no-shows are extremely rare.
Orrrrrr just add this to the motorhome: https://www.amazon.com/Kleinn-Air-Horns ... 1X0R7KVRD3
It would need a compressor / tank and some sort of switch(es) mounted in the motorhome to be operational. Pretty sure people would, uh, be aware of it though.
But then we might have Red Bull sponsored drivers jumping out of their cars.........Anthony Porta wrote:Quoc-Viet Dang wrote:Couldn't hear the PA from the starter position on Saturday morning due to wind - just fyi.

We do have a horn button and output on the timer
Completely agree with Rick. But if we need additional help for those in need, let's do it right.Rick Brown wrote: I still think this is a non-issue. We almost never are waiting for either cars or workers anymore and worker no-shows are extremely rare.
Improving PA communications would make the events better for competitors in all areas, what's going on in the group running and change over.
From my post on page 1 "We've tried wireless speakers and they were crap, nowhere near the claimed power. You really need something with a small generator, real amp with wireless or FM receiver, and speakers. We have the old portable amp (has one bad channel, but only need one) and extra speakers, just need another generator and a method to connect. It would fit on a small cart you roll wherever you need."Mike Simanyi wrote: I believe we bought wireless speakers a couple years ago. Do those work? If we can extend the PA range another 150', it wouldn't necessarily be a bad thing.
I just talked to them at the convention. It will be rolled out in first or second quarter. This is most definitely something we can easily add.Anthony Porta wrote:Msr is introducing a text message blaster for 2018...
