Scott Barton from Duct Tape Motorsports (http://www.dtmotorsports.com/) let me know of a sale on the Midland GXT1000 radio that we use in the race car at Amazon. Basically a 1/2 off sale. So I picked up 4 more radios and 4 more headsets.
That gives all drivers a radio they will be responsible for charging.

I also got the camera system fixed by my friend Randy Chase, owner of ChaseCam. I was using the old style egg cams, Randy hooked me up with a used new style camera, this has higher resolution and is a smaller package. He also tested the system after I shorted out the power cables in the MK2 MR2 Lemons racer at the Fall CMP race. He also installed the G-Force chip so you can see the massive .89g's that we can pull in the corner!
