Has anybody thought about trying to setup WiFi at the race track? I know pretty much everyone is out at HPR right now but when I was there last night I noticed some laptops. So I was thinking how hard would it be to setup WiFi in designated areas... say near the tower or concession area? (And this would apply to HPR and Pueblo)

I was just thinking if there is a phone line then Qwest or whomever could supply a modem and then we could just put a really good wireless router near the demarcation.

I only say that because I know some people may need to do work while at the track or something of that nature and having a "hot spot" at the track would be pretty cool.

I'm pretty sure it would cost a small fortune to pull copper or fiber into HPR. I suppose we could set up a satellite connection.

Glenn uses AT&T wireless to connect and I'm using Verizon right now through my phone.

Personally, I'd rather spend the money on a good raceday office, bathrooms with showers, and other stuff since 3G seems to work ok.

I wasn't sure what connection there is, if one at all currently... but high speed internet is pretty easy to get and I'm sure a monthly plan could be feasible. Just a thought.
