Just something ive heard.

are u on crack

Even if you are allowed to run the "fire-crackers" just remember there's no guarantee they'll allow them at the Indoor Finals in March. As they aren't fully legal until April 1st.

[PaulRotheram]

Any way to find out sleigh? won't bother entering if i'll be turned away due to a date

[_sleigh_]

Already on the case. I know in past years at Indoor finals, certain cells have been allowed even though they weren't legal until the April. I think it was at the Worcester meeting a few years back, and it went to a vote if I remember correctly (although I've had a few pints and the memory is a little hazy)

[PaulRotheram]

Nice one !

[_sleigh_]

Right here's your answer Paul. It's what I thought and not good for you.


The Indoor Finals will be run strictly to the homologation lists.

So NO "Fire-Crackers", GP4600's, Epic 4200's, Sintered brushless, etc...

Leave them in your box until April.


Full list of cells here - http://www.brca.org/BRCA/elecboard/n...st%202007P.doc (top section are legal from April 1st)

Full list of brushless here - http://www.brca.org/BRCA/elecboard/n...s%20latest.doc

Full list of brushed here - http://www.brca.org/BRCA/elecboard/n...s%20Latest.doc

Are all your IB's dead Jim?

G

[PaulRotheram]

The majority are, but for the fact of a date restriction i'll miss the event.

Still, Batley supercup tommorrow! i'm looking forward to it now. in the process of getting me gear together and readying my cells.

What are peoples predictions for their placings?

[Northy]

Can we use 'fire crackers' tomorrow?

I hope not as I need to run with my Gp cells and the firecrackers, Can someone please clarify??

[PaulRotheram]

Mark, don't bring that crap up again, seriously.

There's been no word on scruitineering tommorrow. Last year there wasn't any, but im sure one of the batley boys can verify what the crack is.

[Northy]

Mark, it is not a BRCA event, so they can choose to run to whatever rules they want.

[wacattack]

I was there today laying the track and I heard them saying it is being run to BRCA rules therefore there will be no LIPO cells or any other non BRCA legal equipment allowed
