NEW BUSINESS

TRANSPONDER RULES

Ron Magdanz asked the club what to do if a transponder doesn’t work
He said the FRRC doesn’t score a truck if the transponder doesn’t send a signal
Josh pointed out that track rules supersede the club rules
Jerry Quella said that if it is obvious where the truck finished they should be given the points for that spot
Rob Vandermoss said that last year he struggled to get the FRRC to change the finishing order one night last year, due to a transponder problem
It was agreed that Transponder discrepancy will be up to the officers on a case by case basis. If the officers can not prove the finishing spot of a truck, the truck in question will receive last place points.
