Answer No, as every one says every year, You have to wait for the list to be sure!

your absolutely correct you wait until the list comes out or take a risk, that isn't the point, assuming you are as "in touch" with them as you make out, you know why they are not on the list, so when are they going to say something

blah blah blah

I reckon they'll re-emerge in the Track market with something exciting.

No facts, just a thought?

What would annoy me is if TP never had any intention of applying for BRCA status for the Dark Series. They would of known full well that a lot of people would get them before for Christmas etc in the assumption (right or wrong) it was looking likely they would be legal. If this was the case they should of made it clear from day 1. I have had no response to the email i sent TrakPower although i guess that may of had quite a few.

I did read all the posts, can't see any mention that they did submit an application. I don't have access to RCCI, the fact remains unless they give a really good reason then they will of lost a lot of future business, regardless of what name they trade under

Why - For the first time they used OEM, to meet the market demands, which meant (possibly) comprimising on standard. With an apparantly tight market (look how many are on the lists!), the ROI, (with assumed MOQ) was not sufficient to compromise a brand name like TP.

Why do I think the above -

Reading this: - http://www.flightpower.co.uk/ on the front page of the website. ( should it move it's here too http://www.flightpower.co.uk/newsOpe...ewsArchive.asp )

I reckon they'll re-emerge in the Track market with something exciting.

as and when i can say more i will

same again as i have asked this already

where did they say they were BRCA legal?

[LEE-HO]

The lack of Track power dark cells will make it so that I cannot afford to race this year.

In the run up to Xmas where the only top brand lipo's in local shops.

This hobby is far to expenisve for club level racers, and the lack of this cells will make it so many club level drivers like me will be unable to race this year.

[TonyM]

I think the point is that people expected TrakPower to submit and be on the list. A reasonable assumption as the gold series were and a hell of a lot of people raced with them. If they were a new or unknown brand then it would be right to condone people for making too many assumptions. But, I think it reasonable for people to assume TrakPower would be on the 2010 list.

[DaveG28]

I think they intended to be on the list, given they'd signed up some national drivers (or, and this may be the key bit, the uk distributor did).

I'm taking an educated guess, part of being brca legal is proving the cells will be commercially available within the uk, with the ownership/distribution changes I think maybe they couldn't do so in the timescale involved for the list completion.

[Dazzler]

Is it a case that TrakPowers were submitted, but as they appear to be re-branding to TrakTech, then the Trakpowers would therefore be no longer available so they simply could not be put on the list. And I guessTraktech were not available in time for submission...

[Col]

This is utterly ridiculous!!
It's the same every year.
If you intend to race at BRCA sanctioned events and you buy your cells before the list is out then you deserve your to loose your money.
It's irrelevant why TP Dark's are not on the list - the simple fact is that they aren't. If anyone was serious about the 2010 year then all you had to do was ask around and anyone with 1/2 a brain would have said wait for the list.

So just so I can quote this post next year in an identical thread to this one ONLY BUY YOUR LIPO'S AFTER THE LIST IS RELEASED. NEVER BUY BEFORE CHRISTMAS. NEVER MAKE ASSUMPTIONS.

[MikePimlott]

Col, You've just said what loads of people were thinking.

[Col]

I'm sorry, it just winds me up.
