Yes so DCM said, I would want to keep that section whilst getting rid of the list.

You don't think that happens? Use a motor four years old and tell us it is still competitive. Use tyres from 2009 and tell me they are still giving the same grip. Yes, cell capacity and quality has gone up, but without a set of case sizes they would be now be in the stratosphere.
You may say that no one would keep buying cells, but they keep buying everything else when the other guy at the club has one! Stick to the list and keep your purchases down!

I am a bit confused what you are getting at here. I only know the off road world so maybe I am missing your point. I don't care what anyone buys really. I use a mix of old and new gear. I am just as fast with any of it, yeah the older batteries can't do two competitive heats in one charge any more but they are fine for one or as a practice pack.
I guess my main issue is there seems little real reason behind having the list. Many other sections don't have it. It does not control costs it just gives a little traceability and it adds a whole lot of admin and confusion.
End of the day, I don't care that much, I will buy decent stuff anyway and it is not a big issue to make sure its on the list but it does seem bureaucratic so I voted Yes!
