The world leader in motorsports radio and communications systems, SPEEDCOM Communications Inc, has been named the North American Road Racing Association's Official Radio Equipment Supplier.
Beginning with NARRA's first 2012 event, at Inde Motorsports Ranch (March 23-25) later this month, all officials including renowned Chief Steward Terry Earwood will communicate during race weekends using radios and headsets provided by SPEEDCOM Communications.
"As the leader in racing radio systems, SPEEDCOM is extremely proud to be named equipment supplier to America's two leading pro-am series for GT sports cars, NARRA's US GT Championship and the Whelen US TimeTrial Championship," said SPEEDCOM CEO Toto Lassally.
"NARRA's USGT Championship and the Whelen US TimeTrial Championship have quickly become the benchmark for semi-professional racing and time-trial series and we are extremely pleased to be able to add both to our list of motorsports governing body and series partners."
Fielding as many as 47 cars in 2011, the US GT Championship is rapidly becoming the largest high performance GT racing series in the USA, while the Whelen US TimeTrial Championship attracts America's top tuners, the fastest time-attack drivers and some of the country's most wildly modified track cars.

Many of the events also feature the SRT Viper Cup Series presented by Pennzoil Ultra.
