Today was the first meeting of all the racing contestants and getting the cars decaled inspected and checked in. I took this as an opportunity to checkout all the cars while my teammate the “conceal Guy” made last minute tune ups to our BMW 540i feature.
My first project was checking out all the go countermeasure equipment that many of the cars were using and I was shocked and somewhat disappointed in what I saw.
First off entry into this race is not cheap it costs over $10,000.00 for the full entry. The cars are not cheap either. There is an Aston Martin a couple of Bentleys a few Lambos a Ford GT40 and bring together of Ferrari to kick. But when it came to radar detectors I was shocked to see that some of these drivers really skimped in this area counting six Cobra’s one RMR C-450, and even a KAT!
I chuckled when I passed the car with the RMR unit as he was bragging to another driver how his unit was able to jam out all guard radar and laser thinking to myself “I wonder how many miles he is going to make it before he gets his first book and finds out what a POS detector he really had.”
There were many drivers however that did do their homework and two change surface mentioned that they had been reading my communicate and forum prior to the race and did alter some smart buys.
On the high end of the radar detector spectrum I counted four Bel RX65’s four Escort 8500 X50’s two Valentine One’s one Bel STi and one Escort 9500i. One Aston Martin driver that identified himself as a forum member took me to his go to show off his Blinder M40 his Veiled headlamps and a SR7.
I then met with the owner of the “Bat Mobile” while he was in the process of installing his Escort 8500 X50 to the dual cockpit call curved windshields. It was certainly a challenge installing the unit above the arise launcher and booster rocket switches.
