What does this little thing do? Some guys at my LHS has them on their cars, but I'm not sure what they're for. Anyone know?
 
The transponder is used in conjunction with a pair of wires that run underneath the track surface that is hooked into a computer to count laps. Each transponder is assigned it's own numeric id number that is not repeated.

Oh, so it's basically a lap counter and a speed recorder. Seems like a good deal for racing, I don't race though =(. Thanks anyways :D.
