Davis Technologies has supplied traction control to drag racers for the past 4 years. Using our extensive experience in the field of traction control, we have developed a system that has proven to be very effective in controlling the slip of a drag racing tire. Our systems work in real time as each pass is made, reacting to what the tires are doing under the current conditions, not simply running on a pre determined map based on old data. With our systems the tire slip is controlled based on the conditions as you go down the track, not the conditions when you were in the pit programming the map to what you thought the conditions might be! These systems have been tested on Pro Stock, Outlaw 10.5, Top Fuel, and many types of Bracket cars. The results have been impressive. While some of Davis Technologies products are not allowed for use in a small number of classes, they are still beneficial in use for testing. One big advantage our testers have reported is the ability to get a full pass even with a missed setup. This allows the racers to review the data from the run and better determine where the setup needs tweaking. It is very difficult to get your car dialed in when the tires go up in smoke 60 feet out! Just one full pass early in the event can mean the difference in getting your setup right or heading to the trailer. Also, imagine being able to test parameters on your vehicle and not have to worry about chasing the changing track conditions. Click Here for Drag Testimonials
Two standard systems are available, both are bases on our new hardware which is utilized in many other forms of racing. These units are the size of a pack of cigarettes and are removable by the driver. You would not want to let other competitors know what your advantage is ! (much smaller systems are available) The TM-DRAG-PRO is designed to work with ignition systems that have a provision for controlling the timing with a 12 volt input. Most popular digital ignitions and timing controllers have this feature, as well as many older analog type systems. Cost $4495.00 The TM-DRAG is designed for the budget minded racer who is running a simple ignition system utilizing a spark box and distributor trigger. Cost $2495.00 (HEI systems are also available) Both systems incorporate our patented technology for detecting wheel slip as well as our patented Self Learning feature. Each of these systems are two stage which allows for a different amount of timing correction for various amounts of slip. A little slip requires a small correction, while a larger slip requires more timing to be retarded. This allows the units to only reduce the timing by the amount required to limit the slip. The amount of retard is set by the racer, making this system very tunable for your conditions. We are often asked "How is this any different than the digital ignition controller I already have?" or "Why don't I just buy a digital ignition with timing control?". One major advantage our systems have over other systems that control the ignition timing to reduce tire slip is that our systems are active, real time systems. This means that instead of having to make many test runs to determine what the timing map should be (under the current conditions), our systems constantly monitor the acceleration rates and tire slip to determine the optimum timing automatically. The pre-determined maps are only good until the track changes, then the map may allow too little or too much timing. Our Self Learning drag systems update as fast as 200 times a second and only reduce ignition timing when wheel slip occurs. This technology is patented and is the only system of its kind available today. The sales and support of these units will be handled by Toby Graham of xBase Computing. xBase has been involved in motor sports data acquisition for five years. Toby Graham formed the company in 1999 to fill the need of data acquisition consulting in drag racing. In 2000, he was part of a NHRA Top Fuel championship team. By having a computer information systems degree and a lifetime of racing experience, Toby has made xBase the name known in the pits for data acquisition expertise. Currently xBase assists eleven professional NHRA race teams at each national event. XBase is proud to partner with Davis Technologies. We believe this partnership will help Davis Technologies bring race ready products to drag race teams. As a distributor of Davis Technologies traction control products for drag racing, you can expect support that the professionals count on. For any sales or application questions contact: Toby Graham 303-885-7428 cell Davis technologies will also support these products with tech support, and any special application you may have. Just give us a call. If we don't have a system to suit your exact needs, we will build one.
