Aviation headsets and NASCAR noise

I have a couple aviation headsets (not active noise suppression) that I'm
thinking of taking to the NASCAR race in California in September. I can plug
my handheld scanner into the portable intercom, so that appears to make a
good package.

Although I've never been to one I've heard the track noise is deafening so
the question is: Are these headsets adequate, overkill, or just plain not
worth toting along?


Ron dragged me to a race in Richmond and we brought the scanner/intercom
and headsets. Not only does it reduce the noise but makes the race much
more interesting. I'm NOT a race fan myself and I usually only went to
the local track as Ron was working and sitting in the tower wasn't so
bad (I usually got to throw the race safe button as the owner of the
track figured I was bored and couldn't screw that up!). Ron's brother
(a race fan) didn't think much of bringing the headsets until he used
them : -).
