John Posted February 22, 2011 Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 where is this car made?hemp is illegal in the US for some stupid reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Butters Posted February 22, 2011 Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 (edited) To make this resilient, lightweight compound, hemp stalks are combed and rolled into a mat that is infused with a polymer resin. the hemp makes the biocomposite’s flexibility similar to the carbon fiber used in racecars. sounds like a cheaper alternative to carbon fiber might be in the works for weekend racers ..... maybe even replace fiberglass on drag cars which would be awesome if they can keep the cost down Edited February 22, 2011 by Steve Butters Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Butters Posted February 22, 2011 Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 where is this car made?hemp is illegal in the US for some stupid reason.illegal to grow in most states - but some states have laws that it can be grown for industrial reasons....although theyre not actually growing it yet because of legal battles with the DEAalso, it is legally able to be imported, it just has to meet certain standards...so if these cars are produced in canada where it is legal, they can be imported and sold here if they meet the requirements, which im sure they will since theyre turned into a hard fiberglass type material Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Posted February 22, 2011 Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 yea technically its legal, as long as you have the permit from the dea. the permit is nearly impossible to get though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Butters Posted February 22, 2011 Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 yea...im assuming these things will be produced in canada and imported here...IF they ever hit the streets...theres a lot of good idea that float around, but i dont believe any of them until i see them on the streets lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
