Hello,

My name is James, and I'm from the US. I go to school at the University of South Florida Polytechnic, and am working on making small solor powered race cars for a new endurance racing circuit, using advanced remote control and robotics systems. I'm interested in making most of the car out of carbon fiber, as our main concern is power to weight ratio, and the batteries and electronics in the car will be farily heavy. I have no experience working with carbon, or fiberglass.

This is easily the best site i've come accross in my research for carbon fiber related help, and it's a great one stop shop too, although the VAT and shipping costs look like their going to sting my college budget pretty bad.

Thanks for the site, and pre-thanks for any help.
James Newberry

PS. The submission buttons (post, preview post) on your site are EXTREMELY difficult to read, they are showing up for me as light grey, and the lettering in them is(are?) white. The only reason I know they're even there is the red outline.
