Yes, I should have been a little more specific about the mounting location. Mine is on a bracket that is attached to substantial frame of the car, not on the plastic bumper cover, or anything like that.
The sliding mount sounds interesting, though!
Reminds me of the first year for battery powered transponders at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. There was a yellow period during one of the practice sessions. During these times, all the cars come into the pits. All of a sudden, the timing system clocks off a lap of about 275MPH. Holy cow! That was fast! Then another lap, just about the same speed! Unbelieveable! What car was that? Wait, we're under yellow! There are no cars out on the track!
Looking down at the start/finish line, there was a driver, transponder in hand, looking at his watch, and reaching over the pit wall at the appropriate time and swiping the transponder over the time line! Surprised we haven't heard of this kind of stuff at the runoffs. which would not be hard to do since the AMB system is a single loop system and cannot tell the lateral location of the transponder, like the Data-1 system could.
