Even so, I'd still bring earplugs. Depends on the cars. Back in the
day when I was shooting at Road America (Bratwurst Hills, or the "Other
RA") during the IMSA events, the Mazda rotaries were LOUD and piercing.
Painfully so. Even to the point where the track announcer, in a
sealed booth, commented on it.
Wearing the earplugs doesn't kill the joy of the music, it just brings
it to more liveable levels.
And that smell. Ahhhhhh..... racing fuel and/or methanol. Smells
like..... speed.
