The racers would police the transponders because they had to have one to be scored. back then i lost one transponder in 5 years. The newer scoring counts 7 digits. so the house transponders cost 3 times more money. and we have maybe 15 people using them out of 100 so the racer policing them is gone. so if someone used say number 7 transponder in race one and it was not use for the rest of the day we would not know its gone til the end of the day. and yes 8 out of 10 it comes back in a week or two and some not at all. A lot of out of towner. we know who has it but not alway know how to get a hold of them. We have losted 4 transponders since January and still hoping for 2 too be return. Like I said a racer will miss his liscence before he fines the transponder in his rc. and 5 dollars fine for not returning is cheap.

Like I said, if it's a deposit, i'm fine with that. And I was not aware of the price difference of the newer style. That is the first I had heard that and I understand that you are having problems keeping them in house. Trust me, Bernie, I love the new track and I love being able to race again now that my daughter is old enough to enjoy a day out with dad too. I still don't plan on buying a personal in the near future, and I am willing to put down a deposit on the use of a house unit if that's what it takes to keep things running smoothly on your end. I apologize...I thought it was a simpler situation than it actually is. Again, I am not on here trying to cause problems.
