Take care of Wendy & Jen tip them well
Ken Rodgers does the AMA scoring he is also the old MRA President. He will be out demoing a new transponder system. It is a lot less expensive. It is something we might be looking into if our transponder system is not fixable.
We have through the rest of the season to use SCCA’s decoder box
We might try to run the 2 systems together to see if they are similar.
AMB is out dated & expensive.
We paid 80thousand for the whole AMB transponder system
The one that Ken will be demoing could cost less than 10 thousand.
Yes it will cost you money as it will cost all of us money.
Hopefully we will know about our system soon.


Thank you all for coming don’t drink & drive!!!!!!!!!!!!!
See everyone at PPIR!!!
