In
his native Australia, Composite Specialties' president
Jeff Burnett campaigned this wild blown altered
which featured one of his hand-crafted bodies.
In 2001,
Jeff brought his knowledge of carbon-fiber to the
United States, and later that year Composite Specialties
became the first company to produce a one-piece
"pre-preg" carbon fiber funny car body.
According
to the company's owner, Jeff
Burnett, "the 'pre-preg'
carbon material produces a much
stronger and more durable product
than a conventional wet lay up.
This year, the company will use
this material in their new carbon
spill plates which were recently
approved by the NHRA. |
