Obviously, for fairness in scoring, transponders must be uniformly located
on any class of race cars using them and competing together. A decision
was made that members of all clubs sanctioned by WSDCA must have transponders
installed on the rear firewall of their dwarf cars. The photo shows the
location on Kevin Bender's car. In this case, a flat bar was welded across
the tube frame for attachment of the transponder bracket; there are other
methods (bar is optional). This point is the same on all cars with Hot
Rod and M&M chassis - 6 feet, 9 inches from the front bumper. Anything
in that plane is acceptable. However, cars have different 'packaging'
of components in that area so the exact location of transponders (in that
plane) will vary.
It is important that the transponder...
1) be mounted vertically
2) be no more that 2 feet from the ground (track surface)
3) have no downward obstruction (metal)
4) have easy access (maintenance and inspection)
Your AMB transponder comes with instructions in five different languages, probably one used by all BAD drivers. I hope you get lucky and score often.
Transponders are required for the first time at Kings Speedway; then for the first race at Ocean Speedway.
