If you’re a fun rider, you get to ride with a frame number, and feel a bit more like a Pro for the day. Moolz, MudLark and Scary Rider 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silkman Posted November 10, 2022 Share Is it compulsory? R80 is ridiculous. I don't mind a sticker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted November 10, 2022 Share It was issued free in 2021. Now anyone who doesn’t have one must pay. No board, no time, no result. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silkman Posted November 10, 2022 Share Rip off in my opinion. Goodie bags are also rubbish recently. Just another way to fleece us in these tough economic times Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just another way to fleece us in these tough economic times It's not a once off timing board. It's similar to the old Racetec chips, just in a board form. You can use it going forward for many other races - I used it at the recent Germiston Classic. Dexter-morgan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fork-it Posted November 11, 2022 Share I see from the riders brief that they will make the Garmin file available, but the wording seems to imply that you will get it from the technicians at the expo? Does anyone have any info on other options to get it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going forward (hopefully) you won't have to collect **** from **** venues hundreds of miles away. You just use your permanent number and off you go. Saving hundreds of rands not going to do "number collections" will be the winning formula. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The new boards replace these chips as Racetec is no longer doing the timing for the event. Jaco Steyn, Fork-it and Dexter-morgan 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are a number of timing companies that use the current technology, FinishTime, Peak Timing, SS Timing, so there are a few options currently.
