As long as you're not doing nationals your cells are perfectly legal, anything on the 2007 list is fine for regionals and then at a local level it's up to your club what they let you use. The new list only affects BRCA national championship racers.

And I'm with Losixxx, if you are a national racer (and if you read the rulebook) you have known about this rule change for 2 years now. The change of rule was still in there last september and it did say all cells had to meet the new smaller dimensions regulations and had to be resubmitted to be legal.
Then again, if you are not a national championship racer the new rules make no difference to you.

That makes the cell illegal. It must now be no more than 43mm in length at any time during homologation testing, not just when it's fresh off the production line. If they bring out a new cell that's bigger than 43mm it will never be legal.
