Phew...heavy going this thread, but here's my thoughts.
Being relatively newish to the sport/hobby I was amazed at the restrictions in place to rule regionals, almost to the point when I start thinking why bother with it at all.( like some people do now).
In my view the less rules about what you can and can't use the better, its these rules and restrictions that put people off. If you want more people to race you have to open the door wider, allowing lipo's ( and the more reasonably priced ones, not just the 3-4 there are at the moment).
I think it was last year at Eastrax a number of people didn't turn up because there budget 3700 sticks were'nt legal, that was one of my first regionals and it just seem like madness. The same as if your cells have a black end or a red end......gives us a break and let us get our cars to the start line!
OK some rules are for safety, but thats down to the manufacturer to insure, not the BRCA who as I understand provide advice and liability insurance for us ,not our products.
Rip this apart if you want to guys...you'll only find less people trackside.
