There were 7 cars with the bar on board by Saturday night at Perris; but nah - don't try it out. The damned thing doesn't work don't waste your money.

thanks to all teams and drivers that are using the Dri-Bar and those that have orderd system for next week From DRINAN RACING PRODUCT THE DRI-DAR PEOPLE

Apparently some folks didn't quite understand my comments. Apologies to any that missed the point.

Okay -let's clear this up. 3 cars on Wednesday - 7 by Saturday and from what I got from conversation more would have been in use if they could have built and shipped them. I'd say that's a high quality problem. The "wink" character usually means someone is pulling your leg.

I watched Henry drive harder and faster than I've ever seen him drive Perris. Put it on your car and find out why...it works.

Here's my take:
1. This is supposed to be a forum and this thread is basically a commercial for a product. It belongs somewhere else

2. How much does it cost??? because if it indeed works, then everybody will have to have one to be competitive. That being the case, whatever it costs is how much more it is going to cost everybody to go racing. These kinds of devices are unnecessary. They simply add to the cost of racing without improving the sport in any way.

This system has been around for 3-4 years now and is a version of the blade system that Danny has run for basically 10-15 years.

To me it's like alot of things......it works well for guys who are already fast, but will not take a newbie and make them Rich Vogler. It does make the car faster, but I believe that it helps guys maximize themselves who are already fast or who are getting to the point to where they know how to hustle the car.

If you listen to the audio closely, you will hear Hunter say that the available adjustments weren't as important as just having it hooked up.

I could be wrong, but I would say that often a guy who runs this system will probably not run the front anti-roll system so that offsets some of the money.

I think it's a pretty cool deal.

In an effort to provide full disclosure I have to say that in the past we have manufactured some of the aluminum items seen in the photos. Drinan Racing had the design and contracted us to build it. I'm not pushing the product as much as I am just discussing it.

This is supposed to be a forum and this thread is basically a commercial for a product. It belongs somewhere else. Quoted.


I agree with that but I also see this a something that a lot of people don't know about or how it works.

But I also see posters doing the same thing from race tracks to swap meets or videos or rides for rent posted here. Is there a difference?

I like the Dri-Bar deal cause I saw it make a difference at the test, I think it's something drivers and teams need to see and look at cause most don't know or many probally haven't seen one. It's all about information.

I took this post strictly as "tongue-in-cheek", refering to Henry's fine run on Saturday night... And funny as hell!

Will this "Dri-Bar system" be anything like the Twister chassis of a few years ago? I'm sure those guys made some money cuz JJ Yeley whooped some ass in those cars, but where are they today?

Me thinks the Fox Bros., Keith Kunz, and the like will have no problem winning without one.....

If H. Clarke had one on, obviously Kunz tried it, but I remember they built a Twister "copy" for Jay Drake years back; what happened to that?

P.S.- the best thing for sprint car racing is to live by the motto, "Keep it simple, stupid.". If you're wondering what the heck that means, just look at the state of affairs in the midget scene right now. Those high-tech, over-priced machines are brought to you by people like Dan Drinan, Bob East, and Kelly Drake. Don't get me wrong, those guys are great names in our sport, no disrepect.

If Mr. 75% Fast has one and it gets him next to Mr. 90% Fast, then Mr. 90% Fast is going to get one, forcing Mr. 100% Fast to get one just to stay ahead.

I am a fan of Drinans work, but hmmmmmm...............

I would get one before my local yokels get one! Of course if I had a running sprint car built in this century!lol

Chrismattlin this is what makes the Dri-Bar so great,after you under stand how it works,how easy it is to use
