Snowman Series Review
Check out this cracking write up of round 4 of the Snowman series by Team Durango. Link
Early Start!
From Saturday 19th January until at least 23rd February we will be opening up at 5.30pm on Saturday nights at Greasley leisure centre.
This is due to high numbers of racers attending our club. We would like to start racing by 6.30pm Latest, so please try to get along a bit earlier and help us setup etc.
We have done this to avoid the unthinkable of having to turn away racers!
thanks for all your support.

Personal Transponders
There has been some talk about the new timing system update from MyLaps (formally AMB) The is the computerised system that counts your laps when you race. There is a new update available for the timing equipment. We are using version RC3, the new version is RC4. As far as we understand it there are the following types of transponders that work with our system RC3
The old style AMB transponders are no longer available and you have the option of buying either a ‘Harry’ personal transponder or a ‘Purcy’ personal transponder.
The ‘Harry’ PT will work with our system fine, even if we upgrade our equipment. Works with RC3 and RC4
The ‘Purcy’ PT will only work with RC4
The AMB Handout transponders will work with our system, RC3 and 4
MRT Cloned transponders may not work with the new system RC4 but work fine with RC3
We as a club have decided that for the foreseeable future we will not be upgrading our system to RC4 as it works fine at the moment as there are a large number of MRT clone transponders in use. If you are looking to purchase a personal transponder we suggest you go down the ‘Harry’ route as these will work with other clubs timing equipment should they upgrade to RC4
One point we feel we must make is that handout transponders are no longer available to buy new so there will come a time when we may no longer be able to supply them at our meetings. This means that personal transponders will be required to race at some stage in the future. However we have managed to replace the batteries in our old handout transponders and keep them going strong at the moment.
We hope this clears it up a bit?
