JR...i do beleive i recall at one of the club meetings that Brock mentioned that most of the tracks he has been to have used the same frequency, so if you have access to one that is used at skagit it should work at Deming. Perhaps a deming spokesperson could validate this.
No---these Race recievers are to be worn in the ear ,so the driver can be heard by the flagmen and race officials for line up and emergency's ,,,,,hi-tech I assume the Race recievers will be worn as well as the transponders mounted on the cars
These are radios that are programmable to track a chosen channel, most tracks run the default channel so you just put batteries in them and go racing.
They only receive signals from the track officials and do not allow the driver to talk back. Also anyone hears the same thing so there is no one on one communication.
You also have to replace the battery every time you use them so rechargeable batteries maybe nice.
These are the same receivers that are used at skagit and most other tracks around this area. If you have any other questions about this feel free to call us or send us an email. thanks Brandy info@demingspeedway.com track 360-592-5025 Paul's cell 360-393-0197 Brandy's cell 360-319-5709
I am glad to see the track implementing this system. All too often, we see incidents where a driver (for various reasons) missed the lights/flags- putting drivers and track workers at risk, and costing teams money.
I think it may be prudent for me to clarify NMSA rule 2.11. My first reaction when I heard that raceceivers will be used was that this makes it much more difficult to enforce the "no radios rule". Since all drivers will now be wearing a 1 way radio, I just want to make sure everyone understands my interpretation of "No radio devices will be allowed for communication between driver and crew". My definition of crew includes anyone (other than track officials) if they have a means to communicate via radio to the driver (ie- in the grandstand, outside the pit gate, etc). My definition of "between driver and crew" includes 1-way (either direction) and 2-way communication.
In other words- tuning the receiver to an alternate frequency will not be tolerated, and if caught, will be penalized per the guidelines in the NMSA rulebook (beyond any penalty Deming Speedway may choose to levy). Keep it on the track frequency and we all stay safe and happy...
sweet..thanks for the input..not sure about the battery thing iol figure it out...so is it tuned into everything that goes out on the officials radio???
If a fan was interested in monitoring the goings on @ the track would they be allowed to purchase one as long as it was a one way reciever? So they could know what was going on as well and be in the loop as to why mysterious yellow flags appear.
Batteries!!!! Miss Natalie uses Racievers for her racing. We take the battery out after we use it, otherwise it stays on all the time and runs it down. Keep a stockpile on hand or the track can sell them at a price.$$$$$$$
Just make sure the driver does not unplug them when they get in the car..That is the problem I have seen..If battery is low, it starts beeping in your ear while your trying to drive.
As a driver you will only recieve instructions on the reciever from one person. Designated by the track management. They will instruct you what to do or where to go in the lineup as needed. It is to help speed things up for realignment, and they can also tell you of a yellow or red flag situation so you know of them sooner to help bring the pace down quicker to prevent more cars from being involved. Its not a chatter frequency.
