Tips for getting the most out of your Raceceiver
Always use new batteries: The most common problems that occur with Raceceivers are typically cured by putting in new batteries. Also, new batteries can sometimes be bad right out of the box, so check with a known good battery.
Use good quality batteries.
Do not put your battery in until just before going out for your heat. Raceceivers are not used during hot laps or qualifying, so no need to put the battery in early and reduce the life of the battery.
The Raceceiver automatically goes to the proper frequency(454.0000) when the battery is inserted and you should never need to change the channel.
If you experience sound distortion, try turning the volume down. Experience has shown that turning the volume to max can cause the sound to distort or break up.
Attach your Raceceiver to your belts or somewhere else close-by in a way that will not cause the earpiece to come unplugged during a race.
If your Raceceiver fails or develops problems during a race, signal to an official if necessary, but do not stop or hold up the race. After the race, go to the designated official in the pit area to address the problem.
When rolling out on the track for a race, you will receive a Raceceiver check through your Raceceiver. This is to verify that everyone’s units are working. You will also receive directions as to where to lineup. During green flag laps, the Raceceivers will only be used to call out cautions. Typically you will hear something like “Caution, Caution, Caution, Car high in 3.” After the caution is out, cars will be directed to where they belong in the lineup, and, if applicable, be told to begin double filing for a restart. On track officials may also direct you to your appropriate spot if necessary.
When removing the earpiece from your ears, pull on the foam piece directly rather than pulling on the wires. Pulling the wires can cause them to come loose from the ends and will void any warranty on the earpieces.
Be careful with your Raceceiver. While it is designed to be used in racing applications, it is still an electronic device and is susceptible to the usual dangers such as water damage and breakage. You are responsible for any damage you do to the unit.

These & transponders should be universally manditory!

I wasn't expecting this to be a imediate effect but it is a good thing for many reasons. Safety, speed of program, Lineups.

Transponders could make qualifying possible in groups like two hotlap sessions with the best of each time taken. but thats a whole other subject

We made this announcement 2 weeks ago at our last sprint car race. Actually during the announcement a modified driver shouted out "we want them too"
We will make them mandatory in other classes soon also.
A raceceiver is very affordable and i am doing everything i can do to keep it that way. Just e-mail me and i will tell you what it cost.
We will save drivers alot of fuel and time by using Raceceivers.
Its really hard to line up a sprint car thats moving at 30 mph and the only number is on the tailtank. Raceceivers will be a huge plus for our program, and for the drivers.
Thanks, Dave

There is a lot of info here, but not how much its going to cost the racer. Things like transponders and racing radios are fine, and yes they can speed up the show, but why is it the racer always foots the bill. Everyone is feeling the bite from this economy, and adding cost like radios to what it takes to go racing will not help the car count. I know some will say if you cant afford a radio maybe you shouldnt be racing. Im not totally discounting the need for things like this, but I would like to see it posted here what the cost of this will be to the racer. Thanks Robert McIntosh

Read my post again, it says for pricing e-mail me, there is a reason for this and its a contractual thing that goes with the sale of Raceceivers. e-mail me and i can explain more, but not in a public form. Having raceceivers will save the racers money in the long run, just think how much fuel they will save by not running 10 laps under caution because somebody won't get in the right lineup.
Thanks, Dave

Doesn't USAC use it's own radio and frequency or is this the same thing?

Its the same thing, its a really simple deal, not as complicated as you may think it is. Guys that have ran USAC should have one already and it will work on our system. Alot of tracks are going to these and they work great. I am sure there are some drivers on this message board that have used them and maybe they can explain how simple it is.
Thanks, Dave
