This is cutting it fine, but can anyone help with a reputable, preferably Auckland based crowd who deal with Race day radio gear to buy?

Not top end, but got to be good enough for our guy in a cage to be in contact round Manfield for 4 hours.

Still googling, but trying to cover all bases.

Cheers folks.

Thought about that... but 4 hours of talking tends to kill batteries quickly... though a battery change at compulsory pit stop... hmmm...

But then I don't get to have a sexy radio hanging off my belt so I can look my pit chiefy self...

Yeh I know people who do it. How long is manfields main straight? Long enough to answer the phone so it's not going all the time? Just tape the mic into the helmet.
