ABSTRACT:
A system for indicating race position to spectators of a race, includes lights on the race participants that are configured to provide visual displays to the spectators indicating the position of the respective racer. The race participants also carry a receiver and a controller for receiving a signal indicating race position and selecting the appropriate visual display based on the received signal. The visual display can be a series of lights, such as linear arrays of LEDs, where the color, number, pattern and/or position of the lights indicates race position. The system can also be used to highlight selected racers of interest, for example in conjunction with information being relayed over the public address system of the racetrack.
