IMPORTANT NOTICE: TRANSPONDERS

The Gingerman track day portion of the Motor State Challenge is timed using AMB/Mylaps transponders.  Participants are responsible for having their own transponder. You must include your transponder number on the registration sheet and have a your transponder securely mounted to your vehicle in order to get lap times at Gingerman. We no longer have transponders available to use.

We have put together some special pricing if you would like to purchase one from us. Keep in mind that the transponders have to be “activated” so PLEASE DON’T WAIT UNTIL THE DAY OF THE EVENT to purchase your unit. If you have someone you can borrow one from that will work as well, you just need to have your Transponder number on your registration sheet before registrations closes on July 17.

PLEASE NOTICE

IF YOU WANT TO ASSURE YOUR LAPS GET TIMED AND RECORDED AT GINGERMAN FOR THE MOTOR STATE CHALLENGE, IT WILL NOW BE YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO HAVE A TRANSPONDER ON YOUR CAR.
