according to the classic racer mag all timing at this years manx was done the old way, if correct where do i get a refund for my transponder, then watch the pigs fly

Thats right, mate, it was all a big con by the Manx Motorcycle Club to increase the cost to all of the competitors. I can only assume that some members of the Manx Motorcycle Club must have shares in a transponder manufacture/supply company.!!!!!
