I have a couple aviation headsets (not active noise suppression) that I'm thinking of taking to the NASCAR race in
California in September. I can plug my handheld scanner into the portable intercom, so that appears to make a good
package.

Although I've never been to one I've heard the track noise is deafening so the question is: Are these headsets
adequate, overkill, or just plain not worth toting along?


Casey,
Definitely take the scanner and headsets. I use mine at Texas Motor Speedway a couple of times a year at both
NASCAR and IRL races. (The IRL cars are louder by quite a margin but I still use them for both). I usually scan and
find the motor racing radio channel and listen to that mainly, while having a couple of my favorite driver's
frequencies being programmed in for quick availability as well. To stay on topic... make sure you have aviation
headset adapters that convert to the proper plug size if you don't take the portable intercom. Even with it I
believe you'll need adapters to plug the scanner in. They will be available at the track at the racing scanner sales
trailers but are cheaper at rat shack. I use "Y" adapters so I can run four headsets from two radios without an
intercom. It makes the race much more interesting especially for my wife and kids. I have David Clarks and the
other is Lightspeed QFR solo's. They are not overkill at all. In fact the girls fight over the Lightspeeds (with
noise canceling) which is okay as I prefer the DC's.
