This ^^

Not everyone is pitted within 100 ft. of a pa speaker.
The FM radio pa system at some tracks is weak also.

A mass texting system would be nice but that would involve NHRA hiring another employee to send out texts.

I think we all understand the not being able to hear the call and being parked on the north 40 ! Every race I've ever been to Its the deliberate holding back that needs to be addressed. That's why you see 2 B/SA cars 10 F/SA cars then 4 B/SA cars and a frustrated tech official. If they are going to run them in order they should put a time limit on it . Also when I'm at the track and I'm where I can't here a call. I'll notice a swarm of stockers heading up so I follow.

The text message is a great idea btw !

Does Division 2 have a text messaging service or is it only at national events? I thought I heard that D2 does have it also?...
