im of the understanding its down to the discgretion on the region!
the 2008 battery rules will apply to nationals and not regional.brca sanctioned meeting in TC so presume off road will be the same

Must admit I do not fully understand it, but my answer was aimed at Lipo's and batteries not motors & tyres as that is what we are discussing. Here is a post from another thread on this subject, its a copy of a reply to a question I put to Jim Spencer:
Here is the (edited) reply I had from Jim Spencer
" Hi, Ok first off we're only taking about 1/10 Off Road Regionals, as they're the only class to run regional racing under the control of the full section commitee.
So the answer to your question is 'No' as the 1/10 Off Road rules don't allow LiPo's for any of their sanctioned events.
Any other sort of 'regional' event such as TORC or STCC from the touring car world then it's their choice.
Homologation works like this
When a section passes the rules for a new class it can - if it wishes - ask the Electric Board to draw up a homologation list (Bikes didn't bother) and the Touring Car section may well yet do so they're busy discussing that bit.
Assuming they do the E.B. would then contact the manufacturers asking for product to be supplied. (
I suggested that a "vested interest" may propose & supply a sample-JCJC)
So in essence :-
No class uses them = no list.
1 class uses them = maybe a list > if they want one.
Get to a couple of classes and you'll definatly get a list.
The drivers in the classes need to vote in their use at Nationals to generate the info folks seem to want - almost as a comfort zone?
Hope this helps Jim -Jim Spencer "

I for one would like the chance to play with Lipo's at regional level, as the only Nationals we seem to do are the Juniors & F3's then National level is of little interest to me, I suspect NiMh punch to be of more importance to top drivers anyway.
