Frequently Asked Questions

Racing with the WMRC

• I'm a returning racer, how do I start racing again?

  Welcome back! If you haven’t raced in the last five years, please contact the Executive at Exec@wmrc.ca for further details.  

• Are food and drinks provided at the track?

  Food and drink should be brought with you. A shopping centre and grocery store are conveniently located a short distance from the track.

• Is there gas available at the track?

  No fuel is available at the track, however gasoline is available in the shopping centre conveniently located a short distance from the track. Our vendors may offer racing fuel, but availability may vary.

• Is there electricity at the track?

  No electricity is available in the paddock for participants. If you need power for tire warmers, fans, etc. you must bring a generator/inverter with you.

• Can I camp at the track?

  Camping is permitted in return for assistance with helping us set up the track.
  On the evening before a track day meet us at the track. At 6PM we will be at the track preparing our equipment for the big day. You are welcome to spend the night at the track in return for lending a hand with the setup. If you haven’t been to the track before or are looking for a little more insight, participating in setup will give you the opportunity!

• Where do I find the schedule?

  A typical race day schedule is available here. Be aware that the schedule is subject to change without notice.

• Where do I find race results?

  Race results are available here. In addition, results are published on the MyLaps Speedhive web site here.

• What transponders can I use?

  WMRC uses the MyLaps (formerly AMB) timing system for our Timing and Scoring. Participants are required to use a compatible transponder during race events (not needed for WMRC track days).

  Compatible transponders are:

  • TranX 260
  • X2 Car/Bike
  • TR2 Car/Bike

  Transponders are to be mounted vertically on a fork tube, no more than 4′ above the ground.
  Line of sight between the transponder and the ground is required for best performance. Metal or carbon fiber
  between the transponder and the ground will result in poor (or no) results.

  Kart transponders (i.e. TranX 160, X2 Kart or TR2 Kart) are not acceptable for use at WMRC events.
  Kart transponders are for lower speeds and installation only 4”-6” above the ground.

  For further information, refer to Chapter 16 of the rulebook.

• Can I share a transponder?

  Your transponder represents you in our Timing and Scoring system. Because of resourcing and system limitations transponders may not be shared between riders. If you are racing multiple bikes you may use the same transponder, providing you switch the transponder to the bike being raced.

• How/Where do I mount my transponder?

  Transponders are to be mounted vertically on a fork tube, no more than 4′ above the ground.

  Line of sight between the transponder and the ground is required for best performance. Metal or carbon fiber between the transponder and the ground will result in poor (or no) results.
