You are correct sir, but rain or shine we do the lap!

You are correct sir, but rain or shine we do the lap!

Are we going to have someone set up to take videos of the lap? (both outside and in-car)?

[Bluerauder]

Don't forget to print the itinerary and maps that you'll need.

After you do that don't forget to take them. ;)

I have chosen a motorola FV300 frs radio. Will that be suitable for our trip? Any other recommendations on the cheap?
My buddy and I will be taking many photos and in-car video at the track. I do not have an HD camera yet so that would be nice if someone did that and offer DVD's for sale.
Leaving for sweet home Indiana tonight!

I have chosen a motorola FV300 frs radio. Will that be suitable for our trip? Any other recommendations on the cheap?
I am not familiar with the Motorola FV300 radios. I picked up the Motorola Talkabout T6500 several years ago and have found them to be very good.

FRS is a low power band radio ... less than 0.5 watts, I think -- so your range will really be quite limited. Advertised as 1-2 miles but actually much less than that if perfect Line-of-Sight (LOS) conditions.

The Talkabouts T6500 are dual band FRS/GMRS radios and have more power so your range can push out a little farther. Again advertized at about 5-10 miles; but in practice somewhat less.

I bought the T6500's back in July 2005 so the model has probably jumped to T9500 or higher by now. My set cost about $60 for 2 handsets and the AC charging station. Not too bad. You can get cheaper --- but you'll get the performance that you pay for.
