If these products are outlawed and the weight rule changed, then lets make bolt on weight illegal also. Go back to being able to build a midget with aluminum, fiberglass, and steel bolts that makes the weight without having to bolt weight on.
Oh well opinions are like....or something like that.

Ti and Carbon aren't the problem. People think "oh if you ban this part or that part itll make it more fair and cheaper for all".... My opinion is, if I want to spend the money on Titanium or Carbon, I should be allowed to. (Not speaking of rotating Ti), but neither has ANY performance advantage to it. If im meeting weight rules, it should not matter. If you cannot afford to buy ti, or carbon that's perfectly fine! Some people can, and some people want to.
Now we can argue a lighter car means placing weight where you want it to meet weight.... Whatever. Quit making more rules ruling out more parts, and lets all just race! Weve seen people time in and time out beat top of the line cars with hoopty's....
I can understand no rotating ti, but past that, the "no carbon/ti" rule is ridiculous.

The 21 year old college student running an ecotec with titanium parts- because I worked my ass off to be able to afford nice parts.
