www.compcomm.biz is a good source for World of Speed radios and in-car
communication associated with Bonneville racing. Jim Russell is the contact.
I have tried cell phones in the past and that could be refined. Could also
put a hand held CB somewhere in the racecar for "after run" comm. Anything
you might use would be affected by magneto interference. I would think
filtering would be necessary. And then there is "dragging along" an antenna.
Data telemetry would really be a good addition for me.
