Why not all get together and start your own Lipo 'Saddle' section in the BRCA ??? Other sections have done this to go there own way... I remember racing 10th Trucks in the late 90's, always had to be the first section to run the latest stuff. Funnily that section died after around 3-4 years when everyone got sick of buying stuff to be competitive, only to be unable to use it in other classes.
Can you explain the logic? Sorry to pick on you but your the one who's pointed this out!!! How are we asking for an advantage? The existing saddles are no better than the stick packs which are allowed?? I'm not asking to be allowed to run the latest stuff ahead of you, I'm asking to be allowed to run what you can choose to run in the pred, Lipo, not better than you can run!?

What's unfair about my point of view on this?

To clarify (and I think I differ from Mark on this?) I can see why you could argue it's a bad precedent to allow a battery which requires modifying cars to run (not that it does in most cases I think?) or base the size on the old cells, except in doing so it is wiping several cars out of competitiveness potentialy! If there would definitely be an alternative legal cell I wouldn't gave as big a problem with it, although tbh it still would seem a bit harsh making all trakpower runners (including stick) buy new cells!
