I never carry a phone in the race car or even in my pocket on race day.
I concentrate on racing and do not want calls or texts when I am racing.
I just do not need the distraction.
Maybe just me.

I just shut my ringer off in the lanes.
Nice to have a phone if your car quits at the last turnoff...Or maybe you meet a potential customer in the lanes during a half hour cleanup..You want to save his number.
Too much of a convenience, in today's world , to go without it.
Maybe just me ;-)

And then there's Gainesville, where much like Norwalk, the cell service and internet is nearly non existent.....

Agreed! I had a run where we were the last pair of Stockers at Cecil County, neither car started after shutdown and Super Street was running but exit to the left not right. Neither of us had a phone either. Had to get the attention of the tech on the otherside between rounds. I always have the phone now.
Plus weather station updates. Live timing. Double checking what your opponent ran previously. Etc etc.
