Some of us do not even have smart phones and I never carry my phone when racing.
A phone in your pocket is a real safety issue in my opinion. If you have some type of an accident during the race it can cause major injuries.
If you have not witnessed what a cell phone battery in a shorted situation can do to a persons skin you would be surprised.
I would think NHRA would take carrying a phone in the race car a safety issue.
Of course we do not even have tech now so I guess it is up to the racer.
I won't be carrying a phone in the race car even though my phone is a flip phone and it is not app capable.
