Transponder mounting and wiring....

[joeg]

You have the device oriented correctly. That is the same set-up on my car and it works fine. I believe most people mount the transponders like that.

Where is the best place to buy a transponder these days?

[joeg]

Rob--I purchased my last one off of eBay, but due to mylaps registration issues, you might be better off buying a new one from AMB or retail merchants-like Pegasus.

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?
