I understand we now have to use the Racecaster app at all NASA events this season while on track. Does anybody have any experience using it yet and what mounts are preferrable?

I'm a little leery about using my Iphone on track and being distracted by it. Say my grandmother calls while I'm door to door thru the esses, do I answer? Or what if I get an email pop up from that porn sight I "accidently" visited once(I SWEAR I thought it was a farming website!)?

Ron,

I'm pretty sure this is a NorCal requirement only. It is in our Supps, not in the CCR.

When I tried loading this app on my Motorola Razr, it failed. That was last year and I haven't tried again. RaceCaster recommends the X-grip with suction cup. I don't know if I trust the suction cup part, the the X-grip is pretty good. I will probably just Velcro my phone onto the dash--if I can get it running.

It has been suggested to purchase a pay-as-you-go phone with data plan and use that phone instead of your expensive iPhone. Don't give out your new number to your grandmother!

It will be interesting to see how the Spotter app handles incoming phone calls, emails, texts, etc. Perhaps I can call you while on track together to arrange draft techniques to get past Buzzetti!

I've used RAM mount with the iphone attachment in the past for several events. Never fell off.

I have this one now since switching phones, only tested it in the DD but it seems to be as stout.
