 Well KROMA is finally about to join the 21st century, yes we are upgrading to the new AMB/MYLaps transponder system, the new RC4 decoder system offers a .
With the new system we will be able to support the AMBrc personal transponders as well as the new MYLAPS RC4 Hybrid transponders which are about to be released.
The new Hybrid transponders provide a range of new features and some of the marketing blurb seems to imply upgradability. Here are the new functions/features of the new transponders: 
Temperature: the ambient temperature of the transponder
Voltage: the supply voltage of the transponder
Half the size and half the weight of the RC2 Transponder
Comes with a separate holder, so you can easily switch transponder between cars and boats
Better quality cable (PTFE) that is racing fuel resistant
Low voltage operability: 2.8-16 Volt compatible
1-4 cell LiPo compatible
It will be your parent transponder and it comes with Car ID 0 (zero), the default Car ID. You can add child transponders, with Car ID 1, 2, 3, etc. (available soon)
Any MYLAPS RC4 transponder can always be replaced by a new one that inherits the same Transponder ID and Car ID
Apparently these new transponders also offer a better signal strength, and are compatible with the AMBrc/RC2/RC3 transponder systems that are currently running at other clubs. Now the very important bit for club members, as part of our upgrade we will be getting a bunch of the new RC4 Hybrid transponders on a first in first served. In order to claim your personal transponder you need to have paid for it by the end of the club meeting on the 21st of March but don't wait until the last minute, the order will be placed after that. The expected delivery of the transponders is April, further news will be available here as things happen. The cost of the transponders will be as follows:
| Club Members | $100 | | Non Club Members | $130 |
Very important to note that this price is only an introductory price as part of the upgrade to the new system and as part of a bulk buy by the club, once this batch goes the price will go up and you will have to source your own transponders, unless we have enough interest to do another bulk order.

The KROMA Cup is finaly ove and who would expected the weather on Sunday given the previous couple of of days, oh well there are just some things we cannot control.
As expected the last 2 rounds of qualifying didn't help to many people improve on the previous days qualifying results, the main saving grace was that by the time the finals began most of the dust had stopped and the track was getting cleaner and cleaner.
Some good close racing with most classes going down to the third final for a result, Nitro Pro Tourer had a single 15 minute final. Summary of results follows:

Well first day of qualifiers is done, 5 rounds run during the day. In Mini Tom in Tim are the only ones able to put in 16 laps so far this weekend, everyone else is trailing behind and somehow I have managed 5th so far.
In 540 Pro 3 people are on 15 lap pace with David Stevens out infront of locals Thomas Camilleri and Steven Hutchinson, they will nee to find a bit more speed and consistancy to catch David.
Stock is a the most hotly contested of classes at this years KROMA Cup with 6 racers on 17 lap pace with SA gun James Ainsley leading the timming by 6 seconds followed by 5 racers all within 3 seconds of each other.
Super stock will be interesting in the finals with 6 drivers on 18 lap pace with the heat in the afternoon for the finals will be about making the best out of the tyres and not over driving the car.
Modified is shaping up to have some great close racing with Simon Nicholson out in front on the brink of a 17 lap run which is impressive considering it's only a 5minute race but not to far behing are Peter Jovonavic and Sandy Iavazzo.
Nitro Pro Tourer sees local talent Phil Kleiner at the pointy end by 8seconds followed by Trevor Lockie and Alan Nankervis, will be interesting to see the results of the 15 minute qualifier.
First qualifier tommorow will see everyone throwing everything they have to improve their qualifying position.

 Day 1 (practice day) of the KROMA Cup was under today with a fairly reasonable turnout, a bunch of pictures can be seen in the gallery for today and for yesterdays track preparation day.
The traction spray onto the track worked out quite well today, the stuff from yesterday was still sticky this morning and another layer made it even better, hopefully tommorow it will be even better.
Results will be updated on here at the end of the day, keep an eye out.
