Yeah and I had a 23sec lap (oops)

Should we have mounted them horizontal? I know sometimes that's the case.

If so, tough to find a spot on the bikes.

The timing system missed a couple of my qualifying laps, so I relocated the transponder on the subframe, horizontal, upside down and at the highest point I could. AFAIK it didn't miss any laps during the race.

Stuart also relocated his (Lito's ) transponder on the subframe, and horizontal for the race. I think that solved his problem as well.

If that solved his problem, I'm curious cause he turned a 28sec lap in the main.

Dunno about the 28 sec anomaly, but I can't see how setting up the transponder as per AMB directions (horizontal, closest to loop as poss) would cause a fast reading.

Maybe Stuart was marshalled on the wrong side of the board, crashed over a board and made up some time, or maybe all the stars lined up for one brilliant lap.

At any rate, the destructions state that if you can't mount the transponder horizontal, then mount it vertical and with the top/bottom facing forward or backward.

Big ups to the LA guys for making the trip, and well done to Mr. Lawler for finding a fast and consistent way around the slippy corners!

Definite props to Dwayne, as he has seriously stepped up his game the whole season.

I don't know if I can wait until next March to race with you guys again.

Does anyone know if the NATC series is truly cancelled?

There is always the big 5th scale next month, too bad it is 50.00 bones.

Sorry guys, I'm not able to make this Sunday. Hosting a family party at the house on Saturday and it's making us real busy. My bike is still in pieces and I'll probably be cleaning like a dog Sunday anyway. Have fun guys!!!
