Here's the thing with that, I knew a couple with real scanners. They work and help, but they only work if your there listening to it all the time. After a few minutes you won't listen to it anymore

EDIT: I guess they are digital down here too I remember being told they weren't cheap

I THINK all you need is a scanner that works for Nascar.

If not, there are a couple of Radioshack ones from $100-200

true true, but if it was like $200 and would save my *** then it would be worth it, but if its like $3,000 then its not worth it.

should be all you need. Do research 1st though. Looks like $100-$130 one would suit you. But idk if they use the same channel all the time or if you would need an active scanner or what?
