OK, thanks. Are you sure that he had no radio communication during the race even though you would not call it a “spotter”

A lot of sprint car races do indeed require radios. We’ll see about this one.

Things happen pretty fast with 700hp cars on a half-mile dirt track with lighting that isn’t the best. Dark race suit on a dark corner of the track may not give much advance notice, radio or not.

I should have pointed out that the radios required at some sprint cars races are for comm with track officials, not with spotters or pits.

Never heard of such in a Sprint Car or a midget—or a drag race car—or a drag race boat—
