At champs this year we tried the same thing, but instead of sending it back to the pits via 3G(a rather expensive solution), we simply filled out a page about the match and handed it to the drive coach before each match. While I do understand the benefits of so much technology, I just want to warn you of the many pitfalls we encountered. If you are still going along with this method, whether you stick with 3G or not, I would suggests bringing copious amounts of extension cord and getting seats as early as possible in order to find seats near an outlet.
