Default Radio communication in autocross

Anyone here use radio communication with someone on the sidelines, while they are in an autocross? It would be good to do in case you hit some cones that you didnt realize you hit.

I don't. It'd be a major distraction. I just have someone stand on the sidelines and report which cones I hit when I'm done.

Radio would be worse than not having a radio. Any cones hit are irrelevant, if you hit them the run is still screwed. It's better to have someone point them out.



I won't even listen to someone that's in the car with me. I'm concentrating.

Get in, sit down, strap in, stay still, and STFU!
