Light, precision, very strong and perfect for say, a removeable door bar for that Cal Looker, a dragster top tube where you need to remove it to take the engine out, so you don't have to built the top end between the rails.

I saw this thing in the US Airways in flight magazine, then saw one in person last weekend at a cycling event. Very nice stuff

Those have been around for a long time, from what I know now they go for about $150 each.

You could send the link to the NHRA and let them look at it.
