 Please see me at the next race. I can happily help with that for sure. G

 I didn't even think to come see you. I thought it was something I was doing. Next time I will for sure. Thanks George for a great event.

 Same here with the clocking chip, and had a great race

 It's really just practice with the right technique. There are a couple of them and we can find out which one works for you. Ultimately it just takes a "smack" flat on the circle' with no panic.

 At the end of stage 3 it took me about 30 seconds to clock out. Could you put all the boxes on the gates in the same position, it would make it way easier. Some were on the front, some where near the front on top, some were at the top near the back, some were on the back side, some were on the front face. You set the chip on your arm for a clean clock in at the top and you get to the bottom and it's something completely different and you're bending your arm in half and it just makes it harder to clock out.

 Hi Jeff, Looking at your results you finished about 30th in your class on every stage including stage 3, You must have killed stage 3 if you lost 30 seconds timing out..

We put our boxes on a variety of mounts. Just as racers use a variety of ways to mount their chips. Please use whatever method workks best for you on that stage. The boxes are placed Saturday morning so you have plenty of time to figure that out. If we tried to make them all uniform, racers would complain that they are left handed so it favors that or vice versa. Additionally that one time there wasn't the same surface avaliable again racers would complain. Clocking in an out IS part of the race and if the chip is placed flat on the box it will work at once.

If you are showing up to race blind that's your call. At every ESC enduro there is riding at the venue the day before the race at a discounted lift fee of $20.

 I'm not arguing that I suck, I'm stating the fact that it took me a long as time to clock out on Stage 3, fact. Fact, I rode stage 3 like 8 times on Saturday and is the only stage I didn't drop a chain on. So before you bash someone cause they aren't the greatest Enduro racer of all time, take a simple suggestion for what it's worth. I replied to a thread about a guy saying he was having trouble clocking out, I had the same problem. Thanks for the bashing ESC. FWIW, I didn't have a single problem clocking in or out elsewhere, only the end of Stage 3.
