I was looking around a lot as of late and see many tracks looking to start 21.5 lipo classes this winter. I was wondering how many tracks are going with BRL's rules of using the SMC packs exclusively? Are tracks that follow BRL rules letting people who last year bought orion 3200 still use those packs? Are any tracks going larger the 3200mah lipo backs for the 21.5 classes. I'm looking to make the plunge into lipo this year and don't want to buy a pack that I can use at track A but not at track B. I am not looking to buy more then one pack at 100 a pop since I run for fun and not to only win.
I know my question may seem region select but I am truly looking for a national view in hopes of seeing oval grow.

Hey Theo I think we are looking into running the 3200 or the new 2400 lipos. They both have the same discharge rating and since we only use about 1600 in a five min. race they should be pretty equal. And the 2400 can be bought for about 40-60 dollars. If we go up to the 3400 or 3600 they have a higher discharge rating which means everyone with 3200 will have slower stuff. Once again thanks to the battery companies for screwing things up again.

We are going to follow most of the rules set by the BRL, we are going to run the 13.5 and 21.5 Lipos together and if we see that one has a distinct advantage then we will split them up.

We are also going to allow the Orion 3200 as well as the SMC 3200, mainly because lots of people bought the Orion before the BRL rules came out.
