Re: Carbon Fiber

I am sure some teams will use carbon fiber and other composite parts. 95 has never been able to justify the cost of carbon fiber, but we have used fiberglass composites on occasion.

I'm a big fan of CarbonFiberTubeShop.com and SollerComposites.com if one is serious about making composite parts. Other companies, like Dragon Plate, have a lot of pre-made carbon fiber and composite parts that one can cut to size.
