Grid Calls / Announcer

[Joe Rodriguez]

i agree with Brad...unfortunately true.

further more, if you are pitted with a loud bunch and you have to constantly tell them to shut it, you may be in the wrong crowd.
i ve been in that type of company, while fun after the races , during the races it was the only time i missed 3rd call.
i avoid that situation now.....

This is club racing. Why make each competitor have headsets, scanners, etc? This hobby is difficult and expensive enough as it is. Every time the club decides on a way to do something it should ask if it will increase or decrease demand for racing and spectating with the CMRA, while not impacting safety of course. If you make each rider tote a smart phone, buy a scanner, etc... people get fed up.

I agree. I'm too cheap to even buy an app for my phone...haha. I go by the FM broadcast because I have a radio...in my truck. And pit by people with big toy haulers because I know they can afford a scanner...lmao.

Club racing is expensive. Sorry if that's news to you. if you can't afford a scanner, or pit next to someone that has one, or pit next to loudspeakers, or pay $5.00 for race monitor app, club racin just may be too expensive for you.

I agree, with this for the most part. It's simple to say everyone buy a 5$ item, or 20$ item or 50$ item and the problem will be fixed. Just need to know what is really necessary and what is not. I like the option to be able to use my phone for calls, provided it works. Ideally better PA's would be best but until the tracks decide to improve them we are stuck with our own ideas.

FYI, base version of RM is now free. Still need to pay for upgrade to see laptimes for a rider and result history. They've gone to a subscription model where some race events will require a paid subscription to watch.

Best idea is to have friend or loved one have the phone with the app. That was you are told about the call. This is what we were doing in our pit area with the scanners.

OMG! Now I have to generate a friend or a loved one??? Can you purchase or rent those? LOL. Rent-to-own? Package deal with a generator and a transponder?
