just wanted to give some quick props to Danny and the SMC 5000 pack. I picked one up at the beginning of the summer and after the IIC I have a total of 159 runs on it.
I run the pack, then put it on charge immediately after at 8amps, I have balanced it 3 times total, it finishes the charge at 8.4v, still takes 4690mih, and it was more than enough to put me on an A Main pace. I don't warm it, or re-peak it before I run and it has PLENTY of juice.
thanks again for such an outstanding product.

Thanks for the compliments.
Heating will drop the IR and improve the average voltage. I don't think this hurts the packs unless it's overdone but I reccomend that clubs and races look into not allowing this. The reason why I think it should not be allowed is one more thing that will be done by the majority to try and get that edge so if no one does it that would be one less thing to worry about.

Everyone I know uses an electric heating pad that is available from local drug stores for less than $20. I think mine was made by Sunbeam.
It is folded over once (to surround the packs in heat) which fits perfectly into my "Lipo Safe" bag. Only use the lowest heat setting to get the packs to 125 F which usually cools to below 110 F within about 5-10 minutes.
The IIC allowed no more than 110 F at their race. So, that should be a "safe" call on the max temp...
