How is it unfair... They can run cells, if they had a saddle configuration like anyone else.[/QUOTE]

Stick LiPo = 7.4v and about half the mass of a 7.2v NiMh pack.
Apples and Oranges
Having checked wheel rpm on my best 7.2v packs and a LiPo pack there is a significant rpm difference.
Add to this the mass advantage of using LiPo compared to NiMh in handling.

I think you'll see it can be shown to be quite an un-level playing field.

As someone said earlier if LiPo can't be used in all cars in a class, they why allow it at all?
