SRC Supports SAE College Teams, High School Programs and Grassroots Race Teams

Every racer starts somewhere, and a lot of today's best drivers, engineers and crew chiefs started on a student team. At Sampson Racing Communications we support SAE college teams, high school motorsports programs and grassroots race teams with the same racing radios, helmet kits and technical help we give our pro customers. If your program is building something that goes fast, we want to help your driver and crew talk to each other.

SAE college teams

Formula SAE, Baja SAE and other collegiate design teams have a lot to manage: a car built from scratch, a tight budget and a new group of students every year. Clear communication between the driver and the pit makes testing safer and competition days run smoother, and good radio habits are part of how real race teams operate.

• Help choosing the right racing radio system for your car, your event and your budget
• Helmet kits and racing earbuds that work in tight open cockpits and off-road Baja cars
• Radios programmed and tested together before they ship, so your team can focus on the car
• Tech support from people who race, when your team runs into a problem at an event

High school programs

High school motorsports, STEM, robotics and auto shop programs are where many young people first find out they love engineering and racing. Learning to work as a team, with a driver, a spotter and a crew on the radio, teaches the same skills used in professional racing.

• Simple, durable systems that are easy for students to set up and use
• Help with radio basics: channels, push-to-talk and good radio etiquette
• Free advice by phone for teachers and program leaders

Grassroots and amateur race teams

Endurance teams, karting families, club racers, off-road racers and boat racers are the heart of motorsports, and they're the teams SRC has raced alongside for more than 30 years. Whether it's your first race or your hundredth, we'll help you put together a system that works the first time and keeps working.

Many of the teams we support are on our Racers to Watch page. Check them out and cheer them on.

Built by racers who remember where they started

SRC founder Shawn Sampson has raced for more than three decades, from SCCA and NASA to WRL and Lucky Dog endurance racing. Read Shawn's story. The people who help you at SRC race too, and we know how much a good radio means when you're learning, building and competing on a budget.
