"Hits should be no less than 10 (at speed) and strength above 100."
Just to put that "transponder under the speed control" issue to bed!
I guess I will check with the timing booth at my local track to confirm what my "hits" and "strength" are if possible.

There is a reason it is not shown mounted under the speed control in the instructions.....Yes, it was initially designed to go there.
It may work where you have newer/better located loop where you typically race, but when you go to another track you may miss laps. To be safe, do not mount it under the speed control.
