Karters & Transponders Moving Into The Future

AKA press release

Australian karters have the opportunity to assist in moving the sport into a new era by purchasing their personal transponder.

By purchasing a transponder from their Club or State Office at a discounted price (*this price may vary slightly depending on the location) competitors will have the opportunity to see all lap times from race events using the new AKA timing system, which is currently being rolled out across the country.

The sooner karters begin to purchase their own personal transponder the sooner they will be able to benefit from a faster roll-out of the new system.

“The AKA sees transponder timing as the final step in our process to reform karting through our Card (CMS) system and moves us into a new era in terms of the technology to be used in our sport,” said AKA National Treasurer Max Laybutt.

“With the Card system now active throughout Australia, adding transponders will ensure AKA members can take advantage of the most advanced system in karting and focus on what we do best – racing!

“Transponders will become a condition of entry for most major events during the early part of 2010 as the transition into a complete electronic era for the sport continues, so competitors are encouraged to purchase a personal transponder earlier than July 1 when they become compulsory. In doing so they will therefore be able to reap the rewards as the new system is rolled out.”

As the new card and timing system gets implemented the AKA will also be taking advantage of www.MyLaps.com, AMB’s race results website, by uploading all results using the new system to this website to make results readily available to its members and karting enthusiasts. These results will soon be automatically linked to the AKA’s site, www.karting.net.au, once posted by the club to the internet.

Further information on the CMS and the implementation of the system can be obtained by contacting your local State Office on 1300 30 KART (5278).
