It's time to suck it up and buy our own transponders in 2012

[nafterclifen]

Since you are "willing to bet members are not getting discounted pricing" on transponders, are you suggesting "members" are getting ripped off by CCS? If so, "hence" you sir, are a God damn fool!

I didn't suggest anything. My response was targeted to Tim's question "will CCS be selling the new units for sprint and tc at the group buy prices or are we on our own."

As much as I dislike CCS and their practices, I agree with you.  CCS needs to make money in order to stay in business.  Economics 101

Most of the things that CCS does that make me upset leave me wondering "how the heck they do they make money operating like this... "

That may be true, but they still have to buy the transmitters with back ups! I think the CCS crew did ok keeping the costs down. I didn't have to buy the AMD transponder!

+1 !

I didn't see it reported anywhere that the new timing system will have a corresponding web site where we can go and view lap times. Is that happening?

[bodie1331]

I was really happy to see the transponders were only $80.00 to be honest. That seems pretty reasonable to me.

Yes, in the grand scheme of the cost of motorcycle roadracing, eighty bucks is not unreasonable.

Agreed. I wonder if the cost of entry fees are going to go down to match the savings from CCS having to lease them instead.

Sounds like CCS should just Give Away The Farm! as any other 501 org!

I think it's more of a case of entry fees not going up because of the savings.

Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy new Year!

Cause there isn't

Does anyone know what the handheld unit does and is it programable to you're transponder. Looks to me that you could use it for individual lap time keeping, not sure though the web site is pretty vauge. Price does'nt look to bad if it could be used for a personal lap timer.
