This must rate as a huge waste of space. Whinge, moan, rant, speculate, etc., etc... Has it occurred to anyone to ask whether or not there has been a simple mistake? Perhaps the following logic went through Paul's head, as it has through mine...
Limiting the size of the box will (for the time being at least) limit the capacity of the cells, which in turn limits the cost. However, the possibility to make two boxes (saddles) larger than one box (stick) is higher, since there is more room in a saddle pack car than a stick car. So, it would seem simple to make a Rule that says the two can't be greater than one. And then, one simply forgets that one now has four ends, not two.
So, why hasn't anyone sent a polite e-mail to their Section Secretary and the EB Secretary, pointing out this issue, and asking for an urgent request from the 10th Off-Road Section, to the EB, to get this Rule changed before any cells are approved?
Why is it so difficult to do that, and so easy to type rubbish and rants and insults on here? Nothing gets changed by typing on a forum, but there's every chance it will by typing to a BRCA Official. You elect them, use them!
This is what I did when the issue of the 'thin' LRP endbells came up, and I got an answer within a week - favourable as it happens. Come on guys, give these BRCA volunteers a break - ask for their reasons instead of dissing them on a public forum. Without them there'd be no racing, so the least you can do is think before you type, and try to see things from their point of view too.
I'll bet that if this was pointed out, the Rule would be changed.
