So, this thread seems really dated. We have several tracks in our area that have been using transponders for years. There are a couple of them that have them synced to their scoreboards. Most drivers appreciated not worrying about the human scorers making a mistake. It also has greatly reduced the argument over line up spots. The drivers accept that they will get the spot that they had at the last lap. No more waiting 5 minutes to get the line up down form the tower and no more waiting 5 minutes for everyone to agree to their spot.

Absolutely makes life better all around. Like mr McClure I remember having to buy one for the tq midgets back in the day. I’ve considered buying one for my sons car just we don’t have to mess with getting one weekly. As long as someone remembers to pull it off the car and charge it weekly. Sucks that some tracks are using different brands that won’t interchange, that’s a place where it seems a bit of communication might’ve beneficial.

It'd be nice if tracks would go to 1 type of transponder. We've been to several tracks that use Westholds, then others use Mylaps, another track uses a different transponder, which is why I will always rent one. I don't think anything is wrong with Transponders, but having to buy several different ones seems a little bad. Now though. A lot of tracks have the transponder systems and some other transponders won't work with other systems. So there's not you can really do about it.

I'm surprised they don't get damaged on the rear of the car. We was always told to put them on the bottom of the RR Torsion Rack. I thought they'd be safer on the Rear down tube, but might be to far off the ground. For the extent of a flip this was, I was very surprised to see the Transponder be A ok. You can see the orange pouch on the torsion rack.

Thank you. This is how it should be.
