I run a dri-bar on a 1000cc Mini Sprint. Last year I ran with it then took it off to see the difference. I had good runs with the dri-bar and I had ok runs without the dri-bar. I like how the car feels with the dri-bar and the fact that you have adjustment throughout a race especially when the track slicks off. At North Vernon last year it was a one grove race on the bottom, and I was able to use the dri-bar to help get the car to run the middle and I came from 13th to 3rd in 7 laps just because I could run something other than the bottom. As an engineer I understand what Drinan is doing and it makes complete sense. I would highly recommend the dri-bar to anyone. It is well worth the money it cost.

After looking at the pics of the cockpit adjuster, make sure someone tightens up the jam nut on the heim!

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.

If you don't like the thread then don't read it! Very simple. You know I don't like that there is a modified section on this site because they are half open wheel. But it gives those guys a place to talk and network. So you know what I don't read it. Enough said.

Had the title of the thread indicated that it was a commercial I wouldn't have. I had no clue what DRI-BAR meant so I read it. If you don't like my comments don't read them. Enough said.

OK Cecil98,the Dri-Bar changes the spring split so you can tighten or loosen up the car.unlike a weightjacker that only works one part of the turn,the Dri-Bar works all the way through the turn.the main thing is to keep the car in a feature race stable,and concistent from the start of the race with a full fuel load to the end with just a few gallons. I hope this info helps

everybody keeps side stepping the question what does it cost? Or does it mean if we have to ask we can't afford it. Just another toy for the rich guys.

I think $900 for the dirt system,and less for the recon pavement system

v8j, thanks for the explanation. However, how, why or whether, it works is not my concern here. My concern is, that if it indeed creates an advantage, then I'm going to have to spend an extra $900 this year just to maintain the staus quo. How has that helped the sport (and the poor racer, like us) in any way? I'm to the point where I believe you should be allowed one bar, one arm, one stop and one shock per corner of the car and "nothing" cockpit adjustable.
