TRANSPONDERS
The Georgia Cup, GC S7 and GC ToA will be using AMB Chip-X transponders for scoring as it allows us to score races based on time, as well as give lap times, score MAR and KOM, and provide instant results. Transponders are required to race. Failure to rent a transponder or install your purchased transponder will result in DNS.
Riders will need to purchase ($109) or rent ($10/rental) their transponder। Once you have purchased your own transponder, your personal information will be loaded into the database and will always be associated with your Chip-X। You can use your Chip-X at any race that scores with Chip-X transponders।
