Just a quick note to let you know that SAMPSON received editorial coverage in the Pit Equipment feature of the May issue.

HOLE MOUNT PTT FOR RACING RADIOS

As a racer I love cool items that work, add safety and just make good sense like a bracket on a hole mount PTT system...

We started adding a PTT bracket years ago to our hole mount PTT systems because we felt that it was a safety issue. We couldn't tell folks to drill a large 5/8' hole in your steering wheel spoke. When (not if) you get in a major crash the wheel is going to the very best place to keep your hands (if you can) but having it fold over due to a weak spot is just not safe. So we started adding a mounting bracket kit and folks love it!

As a endurance driver I like that the button is hard mounted and easy to reach. Over the years we have seen the hole mount button hold up much better than a Velcro units, especially when other drivers are involved.

Here is a short video that shows the kit and the proper install http://youtu.be/ABCzKH5PS-w

Wireless Bluetooth Racing Radios

For years we have been asked about a "true" wireless Bluetooth Racing Communication System.

As of the 2014 season we are now offering crew headsets and driver incar Bluetooth 2-way systems. You can integrate them into your current incar 2-way system or you may purchase a Bluetooth system for just the driver, the crew or both.
Benefits:
Easy to use
True hands free duplex streaming communications while in pits between driver and up to 4 crew members (200yds or less)
No helmet kit to plug-in (helmet pairs with crew headsets and incar hub)
Living streaming stereo music from your phone or Ipod

Use standard PTT 2-way radio communications while on the track
