Marty,
If you use the FT60 in the car, and you have a license, the person you are communicating with will need to be licensed as well. I have been using a FT50 since they came out a long time ago along with some Icom 4ATs.
Knowing your background and training, the license exam will be a 1 hour study for you to learn the rules and regs. The theory will be something that you will find elementary. Your local amateur radio club will certainly be happy to walk you through it and will also administer the exam. Not at all like I had to go through in 1975 when I had to drive to Detroit to the field office and sit for the exam.
I think it is the most cost effective method for communication for the club racer. You should still have my phone number, call if you need anything.
