Alright Eddie?

Got one here that's about 3 weeks old and has had about 100 cycles of abuse.
So far so good buddy.

I'm not really up on brca rules, what would make it illegal? Does that mean I cant use them at any race meetings?

Just means that your lipo is not on this list:

Doesn't impact on ordinary club racing - only if your doing BRCA events - regional/nationals.

unless the club sticks strictly to BRCA rules. There are a few that do.
Not entirely sure what would happen if one burnt a venue down as regards to insurance.

right, thanks for the list matt.

I think I will get a cheap pack for bashing and then a legal pack for when I improve and fancy a large meeting
