ParticipantI’m in pending clutch parts arrival.
However, I have a question that I will ask publicly instead of PM because it may benefit others. (caveat emptor)
Q1: Referring to the transponders, is there more than one type or manufacturer that will work?
Q2:If I buy one that works at The Track, will it work at all other tracks? Will it work in all CSC races?Thanks guys!

Somehow I continue to rationalize my spending.

ParticipantGreat idea but a bad weekend for me as I already have a condo rented for skiing. If this gets pushed back (hopefully due to great snow in the mountains) then I’d be up for it the following weekend.
On another note, I have the same question about transponders. I’d consider getting one but at the prices they go for I want to be sure they will work at all tracks. Is that the case?
December 5, 2006 at 1:24 am #55669Jim Keesling
ParticipantThe AMB transponders are what you want. All the tracks use the AMB system.
I would over the winter get one. Brads batteries are getting worn out, and it really is part of the racing equipment.
Since this is more for fun, we can grid by “pea-pick” and not even worry about timing.
Stay tuned…

InactiveJim,
If you’re “pea picking”. That high compression Sonik is more than likely on pole already! Lol!
Wish we could come, I have another neck surgery that will keep me down a few weeks. Have fun! That’s what you do anyway. Right? By the way, I’ve spent the last month convincing myself that your Red Bull drinks don’t really taste that good………..
Do they? :cheers:
Thanks for the great quality races this year!

ParticipantI’m definitely in!! I’m not familiar with “pea picking”, what is it? I was considering driving up to Erie to see if they’ll loan me a transponder if necessary. Do I need one? If so let me know and I can pick up extras if anybody else needs one!!! I hope the weather gods cooperate.

ParticipantHello,
To “pea picK”, we pick your grid position out of a hat, heats decide the grid for the main. No qualifying.
Thanks,

ParticipantWhy don’t we just pick our own positions? They did that for a race we did in Tucson last year and it was fun. For the most part, the fast guys lined up in the front and the slow guys lined up in the back. Since we’re not running for trophies, what does the finishing postions matter? If we’re just racing for racing, we most likely we will line up in the back.

ParticipantThanks for the reply Jim. Do I need to get a transponder then? Also which way will the track be running? I vote for downhill and 20 lap mains!!!

Looking forward to racing this weekend. We should be rolling in Saturday afternoon.
For those looking for a good buy on clean competitive used karts we will have our Arrow team karts on hand for inspection as well.
Hope to see a good turn out!!!!!
Respectfully,

InactiveJim,
Any other takers on the Kid Karts. We will try to make it if possible and if you will let us race without a transponder.
The off season is too long.

ParticipantSunday, Super Sunday!!!
Is a GO!!!
No transponder necessary, Plan to have fun…
Jim
