> Subject: Transponder Update
>
> Last night the MC BOD approved the adoption of the AMB Transponder
> System.
> The AMB system is the most widely used transponder system in the US
> and is
> compatible with most other organizations that use transponders,
> including
> BMWCCA, many SCCA regions and others.
>
> The use of transponders will become mandatory for the Labor Day event
> at
> Gingerman. Transponders will be used only for W2W.
>
> At this time the subsidy program is not finalized. There have been
> several
> people who have stated a need to make a purchase as soon as possible
> as they
> plan on competing in events where transponders are required. For
> those
> people who have specific need to purchase ASAP please contact me
> direct at
> DBerndt761@aol.com. I will try to make arrangements for an early
> order.
>
> The MC price for transponders is $260.00 for the direct wired unit and
>
> $292.00 for the rechargable. This is a $40 discount. We are working on
> the
> details of the subsidy program and hope to be able to offer a $100
> subsidy to
> at least 200 members.
>
> If you are a MC member and are planning on purchasing a transponder
> this
> year, please purchase through MC. We need to "sell" 200 transponders
> in order
> to get a significant discount from AMB on the hardware required for
> T&S.
>
> The BOD also set up an ad hoc committee to develop implementation
> plans for
> the TP program. We will provide you more details as they become
> available. In
> the meantime if you have specific questions I will be glad to answer
> them as
> best I can.

> I will be putting together an article for the Klaxon and will be glad
