so, you guys feel as though an approval mid "national" season to allow different batteries to be run is ok in your book?
Just asking.. so I can take this arguement to the board.... we are desparately trying to find the best solution to this...

Trust me I know it's hard to come up with a good rule but I have emailed and offered to give help on this matter.
I have some great ideas and info that would help out but no one wants to talk with me over at ROAR.

The way it is now a new cell comes out, everyone buys them to race at their local track and other big races then come nationals time they have to buy the older cells to race.
I guess it would be nice if people wouldnt buy the new cells before they were approved....then we wouldnt have this problem...but we all know that is NOT going to happen....

Actually, they start in March and sometimes go into November. This is really the problem we are dealing with....
so, do you think a national in April could have different batteries approved than a national in November?
(again, just asking questions.... me, of all people, not looking to stir any cauldrons! LOL)

While we are discussing rule updates and changes;
How about lowering the weight limits for electric TC.
Not sure when the last change was made, but the new generation of cars do seem to be a lot lighter. Having to add 1+ ounces, trying to find the ideal location for all that lead is a real pain, especially when you only need to do it for sanctioned races or other big events.

So if something comes out in the middle of summer and their local tracks are letting them run the "new cell" and the nationals are after Sept 1st then everyone will already have the "new cell" to race and it would be legal.
The way it is now a new cell comes out, everyone buys them to race at their local track and other big races then come nationals time they have to buy the older cells to race.

People Like Cuffs really hurt the Regional level racing. How many National STOCK titles does he need ?
Move up or get out. Get some integrity
The comments are not just directed at Cuffs, but the many people like him. My comments are my own, and not of ROAR in this matter

Jeff,
Maybe that was a little harsh, but you get my point.... and your stuff is PIMP
I'll be at he birds.... see ya there
BTW, I am not Cuffs hater.... The man has skills. Jeff and top line racers like him have no true incentive to move up, if anything companies that give thier stock drivers cash bonus's actually make it more difficult.
