Speedway Expo This Weekend Offers Much for Fans and Racers Alike

Racing Electronics of Concord, North Carolina will sponsor a spotter seminar at XPO. RE provides radio equipment to top NASCAR drivers and crews as well as to TV announcers. The 'Spot-on' Spotter seminar will be presented on Sunday at 11:00 a.m.

RE will also give away a RT-006 Deluxe Spotter Headset, the company's best-selling two-way Platinum unit equipped with all the features top spotters have asked for, including an extra-loud five-pin scanner option, gel ear seals, and a noise-canceling flex boom microphone. The headset will be presented to one lucky attendee at the seminar.

There's potential for significant communication improvement among local and area touring teams. Radio is an effective tool to help teams win races, but clear reception and effective communication is key to success. The RE seminar will helps racing teams achieve both.

With advice and hands-on tips from experts, XPO's Racing Electronics-sponsored radio seminar will show racers how to achieve trouble-free, reliable, clear radio reception. Effective communication is also about managing conversations between driver, spotter, and crew, so SpeedwayEXPO has invited some of the Northeast's best and most experienced spotters to discuss the dos and don'ts of what to say on the radio. All seminars are free to XPO attendees.

You can also pick up a free copy of Busch Sport Scene at Speedway EXPO 09. Just stop by the Mainely Motorsports booth at the show. Produced by Speedway Illustrated Magazine and sponsored by Sunoco, SpeedwayEXPO will be at the Big E, in West Springfield, MA, Feb. 27 - March 1, 2009.
