My pilot friends have pretty good headsets with microphones.
Small planes are noisy, you sitting behind a V8 with no mufflers.
The versions I have used are hardwired(minus) and plug into the radio(plus)

That's kind of what I'm looking for. What I really want is a headset with bluetooth connectivity, but adding a jack to connect to an external audio source.

If you are okay with a jack for the radio feed, then go wired all the way!
The big issue with the wired is what happens when you have to use the restroom!?
I see why you want wireless.

Exactly! Though, with beer going for $15 a can, there are fewer trips to the bathrooms than one might expect.

There are actively damped air muffs that can boast of a damping of approximately 40 dBA, which is extremely good. The thing with actively damped earmuffs is that they already have a microphone attached, so communication is included almost by default. It is mainly used by the army, special forces, etc, and one such provider I know of is called Quietpro.

Thanks! I'll look into that. No reason to re-invent the wheel, unless I can save a ton of money doing so.

Have you tried asking this in a NASCAR (or any other racing fan group) forum? I would imagine that other racing fans have run into this.

Oh, the product exists, but they want upwards of $500 each. I can design and build this from scratch for less than that.

I saw those, and I like them. But I need to be able to connect to an external audio source so we can monitor the scanner radio. Good find, though!

There is no product that will reduce noise by 124dB. The best you could hope for (in a single, economical product) is 30-40dB. People who work every day around excessive noise sometimes use ~33dB foam ear plugs in conjunction with ~35dB over-the-ear protective headsets.
That said, solutions for NASCAR fans who need an intercom to communicate with each other and listen to scanner traffic are already commercially available. I have used similar equipment systems at Daytona, Talladega and Ft. Worth. Take a look at https://www.racingradios.com/collections/fans/products/racing-radios-fan-intercom-starter-package[^].
I do not work with or have any affiliation with Racing Radios.

I know - that was a typo. I'll settle for anything above 24 dB. But I think I may have found a solution, though it's a bit kludgy. There's a $75 headset on Amazon that has a 3.5mm jack to connect to an audio source - the scanner, in this case - and a 5-pin DIN cable to connect to a radio. I can adapt that to connect to a bluetooth transceiver that I can wear on my belt. I think that will solve the issue at a reasonable cost!

For a cheap(ish) and simple solution, have you considered just wearing Bluetooth noise cancelling earbuds with a pair of muffs on over that?

Not an easy one, but for some strange reason I liked it.
