Confused about cells

[Chris Green]

Yay! Still confused. I'm sure one of you is right!

I would like to know;

1. Can I enter 2008 Mid-West 2008 regionals, with cells from the 2007 list?

2. Can i enter 2008 F3,4,5 finals (held in march 2009 ish) with cells from the 2007 list?

How can I find out for sure?

Thank you.

As far as I am aware...
Answers:

1) Yes

2) Don't know, needs clearing up by a BRCA official. Seeing as they are series that you can only enter from the regionals, it makes logical sense to allow racers with cells they used at the regionals....
F3/4/5 finals are also in September 2008 'ish.

Chris, March 2009 will be the indoor finals and like the F3/4/5 finals, a clear decision is going to have to be made regarding cells as indoor regionals are not BRCA events. (I might, however, be wrong about that...)

I haven't read this thread but for FACTS contact Paul Worsley, you'd be better emailing him direct, his email is in the BRCA handbook

[Chris Green]

Thank you, I'll contact Paul.

Chris.

I spoke to paul today at kiddy and he said that the 2007 cells are legal at regionals. this year. But you cant just run gp3700 as for the sports pack you need to buy a stick pack with the manafactures label on with details of the cells on the outside so for exsample you coudlnt just buy your own gp3700 and build them into a stick pack you would need to buy them readybuilt covered in the manafactureers heashrink.

I see, thanks for that.

So, 3700's are fine for regionals.

3700's are only fine for nationals, as long as they are fitted in stickpack formation, with OEM heatshrink, and label. Not if you make your own stickpacks with single cells.

Thanks.

[ashleyb4]

yup 3700 are fine for regionals

[ryan_93]

does anyone know weather gp3700's where on the 2007 cell list

[CharlieF]

Hi Guys.
All cells of 2007 spec are good for both regionals and End of Season Finals in 2008.

Thanks for the clarification Charlie.

So, I'll be fine for this season with 3700's. At least I won't be concerned every time I charge / discharge!

Thank you.

I spoke to Paul Worsley yesterday also about GP3700, and he said there will be a clarification hopefully coming soon from the EB.

[Chris Green]

I've had a reply from Paul, as follows.

1. At Regional events in 2008, you can use cells from the 2007 list (and of course from the 2008 list if you wish) It is ONLY National events that have to use the new cells detailed on the 2008 list.

2. The BRC, Juniors and F3/4/5 Finals in Sept. 2008, are not National events. Therefore you can use the cells from the 2007 list as at Regionals. (Obviously you can use from the 2008 list if you wish).

3. Indoor Finals in 2009. Not sure about this one yet.

This will clear up the confusion.

If anyone has a copy of the 2007 cell list, I'd be grateful?

Thank you.

I would like to look over a copy - anyone have one ?

I should have one at home, I'll check in about 10 minutes.

Paul is re-jigging it and it will be on the EB site again soon.

Did you find one Phil?

[josh_smaxx]

I have a copy of the 2007 list but have no idea how to post it up, i just copied it from the word document but it was way to long (double the amount of characters the post will allow) so anyone know how to attach it?

[JCJC]

I suspect it (2007) may be very like the EFRA one which is still on the EFRA site, here: http://www.efra.se/pages/homologatio...hPhShEnds2.pdf

The 2008 list is almost identical, BRCA has the Yuntong, not on the EFRA 2008 list.
