Space age materials?

I don't really know what to call it. I though this company was making parts for the space industry using exotic type materials , but I might be wrong

 

[none]

This is the company, I spoke to Lee at length at the PRI show last year about this. I know many race teams talked to him as well, the parts look really cool, but are very expensive.

alan, are you privy as to who in the racing and/or automotive industries is using these high-end AWA parts?
seem to remember lee CCing' for whit back in the day, and came out with the first set of smaller spill plates on rear deck of FC too? am i remembering right?

 

[none]

I don't know anybody that is. That doesn't mean it's not happening, just that I'm not aware of it.

Depending on the class and part, much of it would not be legal. There are numerous rules about "Exotic Materials" in certain areas. Just as a for instance, Pro Stock has a minimum weight for connecting rods, and the composite rods would be too light.
