Who Listens to the Radio When They Race?

[04Screamer]

I have always turned it off thinking it would be a distraction. What about you guys?

 

[MACHIN U]

I turn it down so I can hear the sweet sound of the car next to me. It's also a lot easier to hear the car take off then see it. You're better able to react and downshift when you hear him launch.

At the strip its on full blast

On the street its down so I can hear the other guys motor at the light.

I need to hear my tires to ba able to launch well, then, I listen for shift points. No room for the radio...

I can't have it on at all, drives me nuts trying to listen and race at the same time. I think I focus more on the music than shifting and launching:shurg:

 

[WhiteLightnin03]

man i have it on, and when it is a good song it makes the race even better for me. but hey that is me :thumbsup:

I leave it just loud enough at the track to not overpower engine and tire scrub noises. Mostly for inspiration when waiting in a staging line. At auto-x I play it louder, keeps the rythum goin :rockon:

 

[StangsN4x4S]

gotta hear the car...so no radio...hell half the time i dont even have it on listening to the car is good enough for me

 

[hj16]

Crank that shit up!!! I have it mellow in the staging lanes, then soon as the window goes up the system goes to MAX volume:rockon: :rockon: :rockon:

It helps me loose the distractions. All I have to pay attention to is the lights. Although I always end up turning it off when I slam my fist into the dash on the 2-3:-D

No way in hell unless I had an automatic. I need to listen to the car, even when looking at the tach...:beer:

I did a few freeway races last night with some fast camaros and I had the radio on, but at a reasonable level so I could hear their cars and my own (detonation and shifting). I also had some good racing beats on too!!

I cant....I need to hear everything going on.....I still get the clutch pedal shakes when I am sitting at the line.....and I have been at the line alot.....I just love that feeling.
