then do like we do at 10th ic, if the bug starts its lap/clock then is was plugged in if the driver has a missed lap we will look into it as restore it if its a fair claim
if the bug failed to start the race/clock then its fair to say it was not plugged in or faulty which the owness is then on the driver.
we have a warm up in ic where the RD will check the bugs and cars are out most of the time
im sure i have seen your guys do a lap to run round the track, a switched on RD can chack all cars are registered.

This will also help at race meetings as you won't have to wait for a handout to be returned before the next heat/race.
People that are against PT's need to think of the people that run and help run these meetings, it's getting harder and harder to get people to help.
I am sure many clubs will buy a few extra PT's to hand out to newbies for a race meeting.
After all this is a expensive hobby compared to football, but the BRCA do alot to keep cost down.

clubs wont have to buy extra pt is they have hand outs, the more users that run thier own pt the club has more had out to preserve and last longer for the newbies!
clubs can also but at a discount for bulk, our section ordered a bulk amount and passed the saving direct to our racers. we are as below soley on PT

In real terms you only need one so it's £60 not £120.
