This whole race scanner industry was started by Glen Aikenhead, a former oil field worker in Alaska. I met him when I was the Indy car tech for Racing Radios in the late 80s. At first we never gave out freqs, I think someone at NASCAR may not have liked the idea and since Racing Radios was tight with them followed their request.

I got Glen a CART credential which we called hard cards for some reason. He started renting from a Ford van, by the time he sold Track Scan he had 5 or 6 tractor trailer units selling and renting at tracks.

Racing Radio Ultimate Guide nice basic tutorial credited to zipscanners.com

One minor correction to there answers. About scanner "range"besides The Nascar repeaters and media repeaters/base stations.. It is rare to pick up the radio conversations much beyond the racetrack property. Media/Nascar convos using base and repeaters depending on antenna placement you may pick them up few miles away. The teams comms basically cover trackside/track property. Granted if your a few miles from track at your home/hotel/your office and have a decent gain antenna your odds may be much better lol. Years back I struggled to pickup the fanvision uhf and microwave signal in parking lot. Connecting a external antenna helped. Same with Racing Electronics and former Track Scans uhf ota.

Fans of NASCAR racing know that they can listen in on the drivers and teams communicating during the racing action via scanners that pick up the radio transmissions between driver and crew. What many people don’t realize is that the practice has gone on for many years.

Nice article about your friend gives some interesting history

Could this thread be left open/stickied or made a wiki? When reading about who made/designed the Re3000/,2500 scanners and reading about the Trackscan/Re 440, I read about the owner of Kimark and read a obituary it had information about him working in Nascar field.

Thoughts? I thought it answered alot of the common questions.
