Transponders

[rotoboge]

AMB transponders are great, plus, you get alot of information that can be downloaded after the races. How about this; transponders not turned in, fee charged and points penalty... I am sure most all would abide! ;)

What is the best way to turn in a transponder after the weekend? Do you turn it into the "transponder person" and make sure they check you off of the list or do you just drop it in the box. I usually just drop it in the box.

I always make sure they check me off the list.  Especially if you have to change transponders during the weekend.

GB- I would have to say that turning your transponder in to a person with a check sheet is the best way-however, some regions may not have htis instituted due to lack of people or they just have not been asked to do so.  Pipe up at your next riders meeting or talk to your Race Director and suggest that as a way.  In the SW region, I am not sure how we do it, I do know that I have to announce it ALOT and people stop listening after awhile I have found.  We also have a big sign by the exit (which is hwere we do trophies) and those who forgot to drop in the venue drop there.  As far as points penalties, I would rather not see it come to that.  But I always tell racers that if you take one home you will invariably lose it and it will cost you some bones to replace it- (the fine).  Treat the transponder like it was your cash.

Like some of you have mentioned; just make damn sure you get some type of validation for the return.

If you don't; well start spending your "new rubber" money on something that CCS has been supplying us for years, not requiring that we purchase one.

A suggestion: since we all have our licenses at the races, why not just have registration take our CCS licenses when they hand us the transponder, place the license in a 3X5 card box, by nmuber or alpha order. This would not require extra man-power (woman), just a few minutes collectively at the end of a race weekend. There would be no need for ticket exchange or voucher printing or receipt printing, etc. Just a couple bucks for the box and some dividers.

Another suggestion: we give you the two year old kid when we pick up the transponder; you give the two year old kid back at the end of the race weekend when we turn in the transponder!

Does the 2 year old kid know how to work corners? ;D

He will by Sunday!  Not to mention that he'll be smoking, drinking, swearing, and will have his first tattoo!
