[Vintage-race] 2 way radios

Myles:

We uses it to monitor what's going with the car (gauge readings, etc.).
Also, to let the driver know when there has been an on-track incident
ahead.

Just when did amateur race car drivers start using radio communication
with
their pit folks?   I retired from SCCA competition at the end of 1972,
and
what I remember until then is pit boards to let you know position,
seconds +
or - , time to go and the like.

Personal opinion:  if you're looking for radios, you're taking what is
called "vintage racing" way too seriously.

Having fun dicing with someone rather than trying to beat him/her and
not
worrying about pit signals anymore.
