Any suggestions on who's good for helmet and crew radios for racing?

Pick up an issue of Sports Car from a SCCA member and look in the classifieds... we got our set up from Zander Radio Systems out of Wisconsin. Work fine- got personalized earphones which I recommend as they fit great. Our set up is mostly Motorola, in fact we're using them this weekend at a SCCA race at Heartland Park. Helpful in bigger grids when your "kids" act as spotters etc. Makes you feel a lot more important than you really are...

Contact Viperbob here on rennlist. He just set three of us up with race radios including crew radions. They work GREAT and the prices were very reasonable....

I use Racing Radios http://www.racingradios.com/

They accidentally sent the wrong cord recently and overnighted the right one to me at the track (they had the track address and I needed to do nothing)

I've used Toto Lasally at Speedcom for years in my SRF. He does good work at a reasonable price. He's a racer too so he knows what the word "budget" means.

If service and knowledge are important to you than go with sampson racing. They are literally one of the best companies I have ever dealt with, period. I cannot say enough great things about these guys out of California. http://www.sampsonracing.com/sampson...new/home_f.htm.
