I don't think it's asking a whole lot for tracks to measure wind direction a couple of times a day.

The Ragozin Sheets and Thoro-Graph claim they have people doing it at almost every track. If small entities like they are can do it at dozens of tracks - it shouldn't be a tall order for a track to do it.
