Just an additional radio bit regarding the Hydros, there's an article in this little company newsletter (from 1999) regarding use of radio networking from the boats to the pits to carry instrumentation telemetry.
They note that the boat itself may not even HAVE visible instruments, because the driver hasn't time to watch them, can't see them for the vibration, and they DIE from the vibration constantly! Rough service!
