milky4130 Posted December 30, 2013 Posted December 30, 2013 Can we use the Lights by Linea Race number we also had to purchase? Or must we buy another new/separate number?
Vlermuis Posted January 3, 2014 Posted January 3, 2014 Can we use the same timing chips we purchased last year for the Lights by Linea races?
Oortjies Posted January 5, 2014 Author Posted January 5, 2014 Can we use the same timing chips we purchased last year for the Lights by Linea races?Hi, you do not have to purchase a new timing chip if you have the chip used in the Lights by Linea races. You will however get a email later to ask you to return this chip which would then be replaced free of charge with a new chip which is embedded in a frame number. BabyAndy 1
