What's black and silver and watched all over?

High-tech tailgating is a coast-to-coast phenomenon. Anywhere you find a team playing, you'll probably find tailgaters and among them, some high-tech aficionados. One of these is Riz Chaudhry, Raiders fan, owner of Chaudhry Custom Sounds of Tracy, CA, and one of the winners of this year's National TracVision Installation Competition. High-tech tailgating lets him multi-task on Sundays – he cheers on the Black & Silver at McAfee Coliseum (#15 on the High-tech Tailgating Index), entertains fellow tailgaters with football on the big screen, and shows off his TracVision-equipped Hummer H2 show car to other prospective tailgaters.

This year, his primo tailgating ride attracted some media attention, including the folks from Behind the Shield: Online, a Raiders online news source.

So just how much of a high-tech tailgating powerhouse is this Hummer H2? Tailgaters never need to miss the pre-game show or the big games thanks to this vehicle's TracVision satellite TV, DIRECTV programming with local channels and network broadcasts, plus a 42-inch LCD TV screen in the back of the vehicle with two additional 15-inch screens, four 9-inch headrest monitors, one 10.2-inch drop-down screen, two 7-inch LCD TVs in the visor, and four more 7-inch screens in the doors.


Remember kids...live satellite TV in the car is for passengers only unless you're parked. If you're driving, keep your eyes on the road!

Excuse me? Where did you say there was a TV screen?

So not only is high-tech tailgating fun, it gives you an opportunity to show off your creativity as well as gets yourself on TV!

"Why, yes, Jeanette. That is a TracVision on the roof behind me."
