Measured where in the arena?
If anything, I would like to see a little more effort at getting better audio in the pits. Usually the system starts out just barely adequate and then as the days progress, the audio guy is asked to pump it up to ear bleed level. Since the pit announcers are not pros, a good compressor on this mic input would go a a long way to making some improvement in the pit.
