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

[Super Dave]

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?

My question also. 

2012 will mark the sixth season of using my AMB transmitter.  I bet I could sell it yet for quite a bit more than 50% of current retail...

Yes, but you're just stirring the pot now.
I too would have like to switch, but alas that is not the case.

kind of...

Yeah Dave got a big stick out to stir with  ::)

The AMB transponders have battery life of 5-7 years replacement batteries ~$100 thru 3rd party as officially batteries are non-replacable and a transfer fee of $40 for used transponder.


And yes there are plans for use of the Westhold lap time posting capabilities be it on the ASRA/CCS website or the Westhold website.

The price for Pre-order on a Westhold Activated Transponder is $80. These units will be available for shipment approximately January 15, 2012. If you order your unit before January 15, 2012, standard USPS shipping will be included free of charge. After January 15th, standard shipping and handling rates will apply.

Or just wait to buy it at the track your first event of the year and avoid all those troublesome shipping rates and handling fees.

OK, but don't be surprised if it cost more than $80 track side.

[Gixxerblade]

According to the newsletter they will be $80 at the track.

For the events run from Fort Worth and CCS Florida, we will no longer "loan" out units, we will rent them if the rider does not want to purchase them. Rental will be $25 per race weekend with a valid credit card. If you leave the facility with the unit, we will charge you the $80 price of the unit.
