Your AIDKA logbook, that you will need for each meeting (No log book, No Racing) will then be bought to the next Club Meeting and for you to collect.

Purchase your Transponder

We run MYLAPS at TEDK, you will need a MYLAPS transponder to compete. These can be purchased at speedhiveshop.mylaps.com and you can see the X2 / TR2 System's at the following link; speedhivesshop.mylaps.com/systemcomponents

Our track at TEDK is compatible with "Yellow - Kart" and "Red - Car/Bike".

PLEASE NOTE: That if you ever plan to race karts at Speedway we suggest you purchase a RED - Car / Bike transponder to broaden the option on where your transponder can be used.

Nominate to race

You must nominate to race. Nominations are processed via the AIDKA App. Simply find the Race Event in the Calendar and follow the links to nominate for that event. The calendar in the AIDKA app also provides details on when nominations close, this is typically the week of the race event but may vary from event to event so pay attention to when nominations close.

TEDK does accept late nominations but you will be placed rear of field for the event.
