Transponder mounting and wiring....

[Spinnetti]

Thanks folks..

I got mine from OGRacing... the whole AMB thing is a racket, so consequently there generally aren't deals to be had. Combine that with the mylaps thing, and may as well just suck it up and get a new one.

Pegasus has free shipping on it's AMB transponders. $380.00.
Most on ebay go for close to that, so why not just buy new?

I don't see why they need to be so expensive.

Last year I was thinking...."how could I pickup another tenth
of a second in qualifying?"....hmmmm

If we pass over the timing mark at 90mph ... that is 132 ft/sec

So, all I have to do is put the transponder on a 13ft long
slide under the car....cross the line with the transponder
aft (at the latest possible time), then during the lap, pull
the transponder forward 13ft on the slide, and it would cross
the timing line 0.1 sec sooner.

Of course every other lap would suck

I like the 13' slide idea!!

I do wonder however how important it is to mount your transponder at the verry front of he car?

Are results based on who has the very front of their car in front or who's transponder is in front?

Would it benefit me in a "photo finish" to have my transponder mounted at the very front of my front bumper?

Transponders are (supposedly) not used for finishing position.

All finishes are visual as well as having tapes and charts done by t&s..

I had a 510 with the Xponder mouted at the rear of the car. Plenty of room, protected from debris, and a large window to the ground.

Finishing positions are visual.

Just ask Scott Goodyear and Al Unser Jr. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If finishing positions are visual where does T&S get the winning margin from?
