ROAR create LiPo powered Demo class

Back at the end of last year, ROAR (US governing body) announced that LiPo cells would not be allowed to be used at their sanctioned events as a power source. Well 6 months on and it seems that ROAR has changed its opinion of the new cells, as well as brushless motors, by announcing that the 2007 ROAR Off Road Electric Nationals has added a LiPo/Brushless demo class. What is interesting about this demo class is that it is for 1/10th 2wd trucks, all brushless motors are allowed and the A-main final will be 20 minutes long, which should make for some good racing.
