Race Scanner

Where is the cheapest place to buy a Nascar race scanner, with headsets?

I have seen at Nascar events where you can rent race scanners, but they are normally $75 for the weekend with a $500 deposite.
I have seen them for around $150 to buy on ebay, just was wondering there was a better place.

You can buy a simple Radio Shack police/fire scanner. Essentially the same thing, but a much lower price.

It seems to be becoming another The Fast and the Furious wannabe would now more than guts and skill.

In Canada, where trucker David Virgoe met with his tragic death on Highway 400 after an accident allegedly caused by street racing, officials leave their feet and now intends to tough runners on the street.

Comparing speed shops that make street corridors to bomb factories or drug labs, Attorney General Michael Bryant warns "Juiced-up" cars could be confiscated and destroyed before even hitting the road.

"Only in the balance of probabilities, if we can establish that a car is being used for the purpose of illegal street racing, we will seize it and you'll never see again.
"We to crush your car, we will crush the parts. "

Chief of York Regional Police Armand La Barge satisfaction Bryant get-tough talk saying that since 1999, 39 people have died in the Greater Toronto Area due to illegal road racing. "We welcome any new proposed legislation to make it easier to do that (seize vehicles in road racing). That's the kind of message that you must leave, "he said.

La Barge said he would like to see the courts send a strong message to those accused of racing. According to La Barge, his officers have established about 550 career positions in the last six weeks, but that many drivers expect to be treated lightly by the courts. Police try to educate road corridors, is sometimes an exercise in futility, he said.

Sgt. David Mitchell, a York Region traffic officer, said the road corridors ranging from teens driving cars of their parents and adults who have spent hundreds of thousands of dollars modifying cars. Some have been revised so that it would not be suitable for a track motor racing, he said.

Drivers accused, Mitchell said, often choose to take their chances with the court because they think they "is what will happen there." Apparently, the technology has been very helpful for runners, as they use the Internet and text messaging to quickly call races and places, making it difficult for police to play the races.

"What I say to everyone who is participating in the illegal act of street racing do not need to wait until the car hits the road fully loaded.

"The damage that these vehicles can cause can sometimes be catastrophic," said Bryant's message at Queen's Park, referring to the death of Virgoe.

While Bryant declined to discuss details of Virgoe or death of three men accused in it said "Ontario Crown prosecutors are using the brand new street racing crime provisions in the Penal Code for such crimes.

"We in Ontario in general, the ability to draw on street racing cars, "he said.

About Street Racing
Street Racing is a form of illegal and unauthorized car racing takes place on public roads. Street Racing may be spontaneous or well planned and coordinated. Spontaneous races usually occur at intersections where two cars stop at a red light before they begin racing. Well coordinated races, in comparison, are chosen before the night race and often have people communicating through 2-way radio / radio citizens band and using police scanners and GPS units to mark the location of the hot spots of local police.

For vehicles used in street racing competitions often lack professional racing safety equipment such as roll cages and fuel cells and drivers seldom wear firesuits and are not trained in high performance driving, injuries and fatalities are common results of accidents. Illegal street traders to risk common drivers, as the race on public roads rather than closed course, purpose-built facilities.

More recently, the increase in chop shops selling anything and everything from engine parts for Honda distributor cap has been associated with street racing.
