Please be aware, the previously required Trackside Transponder (WEER) is getting replaced in 2012. The new standard is the MYLAPS transponder, which allows a racer to decide how long they want the transponder to be activated for, thus, it introduces a lower cost for racers purchasing a transponder.
If you currently a WEER transponder, don't worry! MYLAPS has taken into consideration that many racers have made an investment in their old transponder from WEER and for those racers, MYLAPS is making a special exchange offer with two different options to pick from:
Option 1: allows racers to exchange their WEER transponder for a MYLAPS FLEX transponder at no charge. The new MYLAPS FLEX transponder will expire on December 31, 2014, and more time can be added to the transponder via the Flex Manager software.
Option 2: allows racers to exchange their WEER transponder for the MYLAPS CLASSIC transponder for $40. The CLASSIC transponder does not have an expiration date and can be used after 2014.
For more information on the transponder exchange policy, visit www.mxtransponder.com.
The MYLAPS transponder will be used to score all 10 events of the AMA ATV Motocross National Championship Series. All of these events will follow the same rental program described on this page. Each racer will need a transponder. Transponders will be available for racers to rent at the event only. To rent a transponder for the event, you may use cash, Visa, or Master Card. No checks will be accepted. There will be enough rental transponders at the track for each racer to rent. Transponders will not be available to rent online in advance for any event.Renting a transponder
A racer only needs one transponder no matter how many classes the racer is in. Transponders can not be shared between racers. Each time your transponder passes over the finish line, the scoring software will know exactly who you are, what position you are in, and what your lap time is.
Each transponder requires the racer to leave $125 for a cash transaction. When the transponder is returned at the end of racing you will receive $100 back. If you use a credit card your card will be charged $35 up front and if you do not return the transponder at the end of the event you will then be charged an additional $100. The rental transponder must be returned at the event. Rented transponders can be picked up one hour after the gate opens to racers. eScore will be open one hour before registration starts each day of signup for transponders to be rented. We will close the lap times kiosk and windows 1 hour after racing each day. If you want your lap times or wish to return you transponder please do so within these times.
Purchasing a transponder
There are now two options for a racer to purchase a transponder. A rental transponder can be kept and used all year. In order to keep a transponder for the year a racer must request a charger. All transponders received from eScore will expire on December 31st of the year they where purchased. At this time the transponder can be reactivated by connecting the transponder to a computer with internet access using the Flex Manager software. The fees for reactivating a transponder are $55 for 1 year, $90 for 2 years, and $180 for 5 years. Transponders can also be purchased on the website for $90 plus $20 shipping. Transponders purchased from the website must be activated in the same fashion upon receiving them and will expire based on the date the transponder was activated and the amount of credit purchased.
Lap times
For 2012 lap times will be available for print at all ATV National events. Any racer can use this service for a $5 fee. There will be a touch screen kiosk at the eScore trailer that you can enter your transponder number into. The computer will search our system and print the lap times for that transponder number as well as any other transponder that was on the track at that time. For practice you will get the lap times for your transponder as well as every one else that was in the practice group you were in. If your practice was split into groups you will only get the group you were on the track for. For racing you will get every class you are signed up for. If there was more than one division you will want to wait for all divisions to be complete so you get the times for all of them. The kiosk will only print each sheet one time. If some one else enters your transponder number you will not be able to print your times again. Knowing this please do not enter any one else's number or try to guess your own number as you may accidentally cause problems for some one else.
