That's very insulting to your fellow racers - remember it's another racer who proposed the rule that your fellow racers voted in that another racer you voted in to enforce it for you - is trying to do..
Some folk on here need to remember how this sport works..
The EB list is voluntary - it was created at the request of the membership of the electric classes to try and ensure consistency and that the cells we're using are at least going to stand up and be counted if something goes pear shaped (the paperwork is all in place and therefore they're Ok to use in the EU and the Manufacturer / Retailer is legally standing behind them when that's proved not to be the case.)
If your section chooses not to use it – that’s entirely up to you and your fellow racers.
The basic LiPo safety rules are actually in General Rules too - to ensure the basics stand up if something fails so the sections not using the EB list (their choice - same as it's the members choice for those that do) and the vast majority of the members happily racing at Clubs, where the lists don't apply, have at least the basics in place.
Next:-
If you think the people your fellow racers voted in are useless it's your responsibility to get off your backside and do the job better yourself.
That's exactly how it works - it's not anybody else's job.
It never ceases to amaze me that people don't grasp the basics that the BRCA is just a collection of racers trying to do their best - and having the ability and funds to ask pukka experts when they need to - and then distributing the info you asked them to do on your behalf.
It's not hard to get your head round - think who you're slagging off before you type - you're quite likely racing against the bloke who proposed the thing you dislike and certainly will be against people who voted for it (or could be bothered to have an input into that process at least)
Oh and lastly re the voting - Yet again nobody proposed to change it - so you can stop complaining on that one!
Not attending I can understand.. asking somebody to put if forward I could understand.. but bitching like mad and not even being bothered to propose it is just plain lazy.
There is NO excuse for not having an input into your sport.
