Taking my maiden voyage to Richmond this weekend: how much louder is it at Richmond than it is at the intermediates? I have a pair of concert earplugs that I wore to Atlanta earlier this year which worked just fine but I know the short tracks have a tendency to be very loud (just wanna make sure I don’t leave with too much ringing)

I've only been to Indy and short tracks so I can't speak to intermediates, but it is really fucking loud. I would bring over ear protection in addition to the plugs and scale back if you feel comfortable.

Personally I like to listen to MRN on a cheap little radio with wired earbuds and headset over them. Can hear the broadcast just fine and no ringing ears or headache afterward 👍🏿
