The way I heard it, there was a lot of resentment since high traction materials can be bought cheaply as conveyor belt material, but in order to buy the same stuff as a timing belf costs around $80 a belt, so only well funded teams could legally use it. There have been petitions to change that rule this year. This, of course, is all second hand.
