ParticipantJim, I new to all this stuff… just starting out. My first race will be the race on the 22nd at The Track. So what transponder do I buy? Where do I find one? etc.

ParticipantBlink,
How much are the transponders? Are they the new or old style?May 22, 2007 at 7:40 pm #58015Les Prins
ParticipantBrad, How much?
Given how much trouble the old ones were at the race, I don’t think I would mess with buying a used one anywhere. Wouldn’t trust the battery. Besides, they still go for over $200 on eBay and the extra money for a new one is cheap insurance that your laps will count.
I asked the question before if you could use the same transponder for 2 different classes and the answer was yes. Is this still true as long as they do not run together?

ParticipantNew style transponders with charger $275.
You can use the same one for more than one class.

InactiveJim,
On the last thread of this topic, before the season started, you stated that if no transponder was used we would just have to start at the rear of the main.
Is that still an option?

InactiveWill they still be available to rent at IMI if you don’t complain about them?

Participantthe 260 or 160 will work. I am sure there will still be some transponders to rent, but how many, and how well they work may be issue! We will of course do our best to have them available. Just put it on your birthday, Christmas, or wish list now! The more people that have their own, and bring them to the track fully charged, the quicker things can move on race day morning.
Russ, starting in the back if you don’t get a qual time is fine, but keeping track of where everyone is on the track during a race is much easier with transponders!
Thanks,
