If we are to "grow" our numbers we need to make it easier for average joe to show up and thow his stuff down (not touched from the last race most likely) and race. LIPO and BL system will help accomplish this. The broad acceptance of 5 cell (stock and 19T) will eliminate LIPO and the ease that comes with it. Average Joe needs a break and 5 cell is not it.

I agree with this 100%. The experienced guys are usually the ones that resist change, but we need get new blood into the sport. Some of us like to work on our stuff all the time, but the new guys dont, and they need to still be fairly competitive if they didnt spend 10 hours during the week to spend 30 minutes on track.
