It has been confirmed via phone that each bike will have its own transponder. With 6 bikes it would still be a chore, especially with back to back races in the mix .

BRad....IF i have back to back races here i normally zip tyed it to the face guard, that way its forward and i know i have it on the right bike.

Lately they have done the whole BS about diffone per bike which i think is just a money grabintg excersise by MASA to prop up the timer contractors, last meet we had no rider on 2 or more bikes, its killed off the all powers classes as the guys now just turn up with a 250 and ride all the events,  not a smart idea by MASA

In other news - only four of us on 250cc pre-70s (with another three if there was a class)?

Wow...What happened? 250 pre 70 used to be a really popular class. There's another class we need to spark up again, it shouldn't be hard if you consider the number of bikes that qualify.

Spew....... im still building that DT up firko, wish i knew that i might have been convinced to make the drive, 4 guys you have half a chance at some plastic.

NExt time count me in.

Actually i retract that statement, i just looked and i see at least 8 riders in the 250  class and with the likes of boag etc, its no walk in the park,  except for that Senoirs guy he is a berm rail   ;D

Actually that list shows the sport PRe 75 is very very strong, look at the number of riders in the pre 75 stuff its chockers !!!   and the Age group from 40 + is like 90% of the feild.  really says a lot about the numbers out there its healthy and they are in the 40+ age group.... thats great to see :)

Yeah, he's my Spanish cousin - that branch of the family is real slow.

How do you usually mount the transponders?  Does the bracket ziptie on your front number plate, so drill a hole in advance?  Never seen one.

You just ziptie it to the top of the fork behind your front number board, I supose the purists will now say its not vintage ;D. Cheers John.

depends on the brand, the good ones have cradles and you zip the cradle to the forks then just click in the tx into each one as you use it. the Revolution ones suck and you have to mount the body to somthing.    Go them onto your helmet ....

Right now, I'm feeling particularly dumb for not getting a pre-75 bike organised...  :(
