Timing Chips

In events where transponders are used, collateral must be provided by the racer with a valid credit card or photo ID

Timing chips that are not returned within 10 days of the event's conclusion, a $125 replacement fee will be charged to the credit card on file.
-
Timing chips must be mailed back in a padded envelope. USPS WILL lose the chip if you stick it in a regular envelope, their sorting machines cause the chip to rip through the paper. ​
-
-
Racers may NOT borrow, exchange, or use other people's timing chips, this will result in non-placement and forfeiture of results and points earned towards an omnium or series. This also causes problems with scoring the event, please do not do it.

IF you race without a timing chip at an event which requires them, you will not be scored.
-
At stage races and events where you use multiple bikes, racers are responsible for transferring the chip to the new bike. ​
