Here is one of the Meyer Hydro videos to get an idea of the work, that Jared and Tait Meyer did with Heat 2B at the 2016 Albert Lee Cup @ Seafair. You can watch the video, see the official clock, hear both driver and crew exchanges between J. Michael Kelly and his crew chief Tom Anderson among other teams in the heat, as the heat goes along.

     You might have seen some of their work on our UNJ pages, the H1 website, or various Facebook pages. They have posted a large amount of their videos to their YouTube page @ Meyer Hydros.

     Jared and Tait have done a great job putting together video they have shot, H1-provided onboard video, recorded team radio transmissions, and network radio broadcast coverage all synched up
in one place in their own produced YouTube videos. The combination
is very entertaining, a unique perspective, and gives some great insight as to what happens during a racing heat.

The second way to gain similar insight to how H1 racing works is something you can do at home whenever you choose, on your laptop, on your smartphone, or other devices. This would be going back to watch past heats, qualifying, and the finals.

     The videos involve a combination of the radio transmissions going on between the driver and their crew, along with racing video that is synched up to the race coverage and radio calls. The people who have mastered this are the guys from Meyer Hydros, Jared and Tait Meyer.

     Take the opportunity to share these videos with some of your friends. Maybe it’ll get some more people to our races and in the long run, that helps everyone who loves H1 racing.

     Whether listening in live on a scanner at the races or enjoying the videos, it’s another way to learn about, enjoy, and be a better ambassador of the sport.

     Another key part of the communications is the exchange of information between H1 officials and the teams. This can be for safety issues, rules infractions, official scoring, and other operational functions of the race.
