Electrifying The Fan Experience! Racing is a fast paced sport where you need to stay engaged to follow the action and to know the “score”. You can try to rely on scoring pylons or big screen monitors to know the running order, but they may be difficult to see from hundreds of yards away and it takes your eyes and attention off the action.
