Someone had asked last week about using stainless in the construction of roll
cages. I had a conversation with Rich Manchen who stated absolutly not.
Stainless is to brittle, likely to break in a rollover. It will also suffer
fatigue over the course of a season of racing much faster than the mild steel
as called out in the rulebook.
