has anyone out there used a CB radio in the car, with handheld cb's for the crew?
I've seen a CB in a BMW 2002 in the Northeast that runs in the vintage group. John Walsh also showed me his CB setup in his Miata.
What do others think about using a CB radio, either with the handheld mic and external speakers near the driver's head, or splicing into the mic wires and wiring for a helmet?

We do that because we're cheap, the interface connection is universal (think "air") and it works. With a variety of drivers in/out of the car for looong enduros, trying to make sure that everyone's helmet rig & connectors are correct and WORKING is a monsterous PITA. We just avoid the whole issue. It's been working great for the last decade of running enduros, and for us there is no point in fixing something that isn't broke. Besides, you get to talk to truckers at 3am when you're bored on the back straight.
