Overview
The PCI Race Radios PreRunner OT headset in carbon fiber, part number 160, is built for PCI racing communication systems. It is universal fit and is not tied to one vehicle.
PCI has been an innovator in racing communications for more than 40 years, starting in 1972 when founder Bob began installing communications in race vehicles for teams including Bill Stroppe, Joe MacPherson and Walker Evans. In 1974 at the Mint 400, the company used three weather balloons carrying five hundred feet of coax to make the first successful radio relay from a pit.
Key features
- Headset built for PCI racing communication systems
- Carbon fiber finish
- Universal fit, so it is not tied to a particular vehicle
Headset comfort and wear
Headset comfort affects how long you can stay focused on the radio. Pressure from the ear cups can build up during a long day, so check that the cups sit flat and the headband rests evenly across the top of the head. Padding that has flattened or lost its shape should be replaced rather than worn through the day.
Carbon fiber finishes can be scratched by abrasive cleaners. Wipe the shell with a damp cloth and mild soap, and keep the connector dry. Inspect the cable jacket regularly, since cracks near the strain relief often lead to crackling audio before a complete failure.
- Check ear cup padding for flattening
- Inspect the cable jacket for cracks
- Keep the connector dry and clean
