Transponder Hire Information
All bikes MUST have a transponder on before they can enter the track.
Once you have entered a Track Day or Race Meeting you will be allocated a Transponder by our timekeepers. You must collect this transponder after you sign on in the morning. There is a cash deposit of $50 required for this transponder which you will receive back once you have returned your transponder at the end of racing. This deposit MUST be given in CASH as it is just a deposit. We will not accept credit cards/licences etc.
If for any reason you leave the track and do not return your transponder you will forfeit your deposit. You will also receive a phone call and an address to EXPRESS POST your transponder back to.
The reason for this is, we at motorcycle sportsmen do not own the transponders we hire them from the track. We do not keep your forfeited deposit it goes straight to the track owners when we return the other transponders. They must be express posted back as we are not the only club who uses them and they are required for other meetings.
All Transponders must be attached to your bike using a bracket ( available from timekeepers for $10, it is then yours to keep.) You will also need to have cable/zip ties to secure it with the bracket. The transponder must be placed on your bike on your front fork left hand side. This is to enable it to be read properly by our timing system, to ensure you receive times.
If you have multiple bikes it is possible to receive multiple transponders if you wish. Otherwise you must remember to switch transponders between races.
Should you have your own transponder, please advise timekeepers of the number of it and it will be entered into the system so long as it is compatible with our timing system. It is up to you to make sure your personal transponder is charged, should it fail, come see timekeepers to hire one for the day.
For both racing and track days your times will be available on paper downstairs in the tower at Morgan park or online, from speed hive. You can also download the speed hive app where there will be live timing available. Timekeepers are available all weekend for any questions you should have about your times, the system or live timing.
Lastly, please remember your timekeepers are also volunteers, without whom the meetings would not go ahead. Should you not have cash on you on the day remember it is not our fault. We also like to go home to our families after a weekend of racing and while we understand at the end you are all busy packing up and talking remember to return your transponders as soon as you finish your last race! We cannot leave the track until we have allocated all transponders. Meaning sometimes we are there hours after racing finishes, having already been there hours before it starts. Just remember, finish your last race, bring transponder back. Simple as!
HAVE FUN AND RIDE SAFE!
