I like the idea of one number myself, the Pure RC4 I ordered is a sub number off my original Hybrid.
Two things bug me with transponders, one if everyone lends them to friends etc, then somewhere along the way you get timing issues cause that number stayed in the system, and two is I have yet to be able to test my new RC4 cause it keep raining here...
Thought better of it and deleted!
The way the software will work with the 8th digit is it will see PT as a totally different number assigned to that particular class.
Best way to handle PT's used by tracks as "loaners" is assigning it as a house transponder, same as a rechargeable. I'm sure all race management software has this ability. Of course like you said if a racer loans another racer a PT that's where the conflict can/has happened!
