| Q: |
|
|
|
| Are transponders required to race at Reynard Raceway? |
|
| A: |
|
|

Yes. Reynard Raceway has permanently placed a transponder system in the track for scoring and live lap times. If a participant does not have a transponder on during an event they will not be scored. |

| Q: |
|
|
|
Are transponders available to rent? |
| A: |
|
|
|
Yes, the cost will be $10 per day. You must sign a rental agreement form and receive your transponder FIRST before registering to race. A credit card or drivers license will be needed to secure the refundable deposit of $210. When the transponder and clips are returned by the end of the event the deposit (credit card or drivers license) will be returned. |

| Q: |
|
|
|
If there is more than one rider in a family, how many transponders does one family need? |
| A: |
|
|
|
Transponders can be shared. Each transponder will have an ID #. We will assign the transponder ID# to each rider that will be using it. As long as the riders are not in the same class, they can be shared. Note: If sharing a transponder, there will need to be a least 1 moto between your moto's. There is not enough time to change transponders in back to back races as the 2nd race has started before the 1st race is finished. |

|
| Q: |
|
|
|
How do the transponders attach to the bike? |
| A: |
|
|
|
You attach a quick mount clip to your fork tube with zip ties, then snap the transponder into the quick mount clip & secure with the strap. Note: The transponder comes with one clip. Another clip will be available if there is more than one bike. |

|
|
|
| Q: |
|
|
|
How does the transponder communicate with the scoring computer? |
| A: |
|
|
|
A cable is buried across the finish line and the transponder is recognized from below. Every time you pass the finish line, no matter the number of bikes, you are recorded. This will produce immediate, accurate race results and lap times. |

|
| Q: |
|
|
|
How do I purchase a transponder and what is included? |
| A: |
|
|
|
Transponders will be available to purchase at each event. The cost will be $210. Because of the cost, a limited number of transponders are kept on hand. Transponders will be available to purchase through MXDIRT at www.mxdirtonline.com. Your personal transponder kit comes with the transponder, mounting bracket, 110v charger, 12v charger that works in your vehicle. Additional mounting brackets are $7.00. |

| Q: |
|
|
|
How long do the transponders last? What is the warranty? |

|
|
| Q: |
|
|
|
How long will the battery charge last? |
| A: |
|
|
|
A full charge will last about 4 days. Placed in the charging cradle turns the transponder off when not in use, which extends the charge & the life of the battery. |
| |
|
|
|
|
| Q: |
|
|
|
Can I use my transponder anywhere else? |
| A: |
|
|
|
Currently Reynard Raceway is the only track in Oklahoma to implement the use of transponders. There are two companies that have a transponder system and Reynard Raceway is using MYLAPS and their AMB transponders. Transponders are widely used for Amateur events in the U.S., including the amateur nationals and Loretta Lynn's. Transponders purchased for those events will not work at Reynard Raceway as they are from the WEER transponder system. Now that we have started a program, we expect other tracks to follow. |

|
|
| Q: |
|
|
|
What if I already have purchased a transponder for the use at the Amateur Nationals? |
| A: |
|
|
|
If you have already purchased a WEER transponder for the amateur nationals, with the presentation of the transponder at the time of registration, there will be a "No Charge" for the rental of the transponder for the event but a Rental Agreement will need to be signed and a credit card or driver license available for the refundable deposit. |
