"The Most Innovative Device That I've Seen In Drag Racing Since I Quit"

---"Big Daddy" Don Garlits

"While testing Shannon's (Shannon Davis of Davis Technologies) traction control in SCCA Trans-Am cars, we saw improvements of as much as 2.3 seconds a lap on a street course and an average of 0.8 to 1.2 seconds on road courses. This stuff is awesome.  It's unbelievable how well it works."

---John Paul Jr.

"When asked about TC a good friend of mine summed it up-when he said "You are either  lying about running it or you are telling me how good it is ! "  I tell you, I've tried everything out there from wheel speed sensors and brake controllers, to ground speed sensors.  The systems claimed that you could just mash the throttle and let the system get you off the corner-RIGHT !  The truth of it is that if you could keep the sensors from failing you couldn't keep the system in tune for the race.  Then I tried the TC that Davis (Davis Technologies) offered.  It was the simplest to install and use.  It gave me the most improvement and the most consistent times.  If it doesn't help your lap times--Well then again, you're either lying to me or you're telling me how much you liked it."

Engine Builders:

"While building engines for professional teams for several years we have had many customers that have ran Davis' traction control.  My first hands on experience was at a test on a road course where it picked the car up 8/10 of a  second a lap.  The driver commented on how he couldn't feel any thing except the car exited the corner really smoothly (This was a top notch pro driver).  I was  a little concerned about the effects of retarding the timing on the engine, but after about 600 miles of testing over a two day period there was no signs of anything out of the norm.  After that test the engine was in the shop for a rebuild-- everything looked the same as every other rebuild, nothing unusual.  Since then I have never seen any harm to an engine caused by a Davis traction control, and only heard good things about them-- except for maybe the cost."

---Bob Cronin, CRD Engine Development

"After years of building engines and many customers running Davis Technologies traction control, I have never seen any adverse effects to the engine.  As far as I know the customers have been very happy with their systems from Davis Technologies."

---Jack Cornett, Cornett Engines

Chassis Builders:

“Traction control has been around dirt racing for a while.  Just in the last couple of years it has become a hot topic.  Earlier systems had a lot of equipment you had to hide and were just not practical to use if it was against the rules. The technology that is being used now allows the racer to hide the entire system in his pocket.  The fact that it is so easy to hide makes it a lot more popular than it used to be, and a very controversial subject.  Now a days every race won is won with traction control, at least that is what the losers say.  

A few years ago a system was available that used wheel sensors and the rear brakes to try and control the wheel spin.  We had some customers with these systems who complained they could not get them to work.  I decided to get one and see what we could find.  The first major hurdle is hiding all of the equipment that was required.  After a few months of fooling with the thing we never really got it to work.  We had a lot of trouble keeping the sensors working and the brakes were hard to keep cool.  Even when we tried all of the manufactures recommendations it still didn‘t work.  I later learned that the “Brain Box” was an off the shelf industrial controller used on conveyor belts, and was not even designed for racing.  

One day I had a customer come in with a new unit he had gotten from Davis Technologies.  I thought he was kidding when he showed it to me.  He pulled it out of his pocket and said that this was the whole system.  He explained that it worked by monitoring the rate of acceleration of the engine and retarded the timing if it was too high.  I was skeptical until he told me that he had already tried it on the track and was a good 2/10’s faster.  This was a guy that was in the top five in points in the top Late Model series.  

I called Davis and got one on the way.  I was very impressed with the size of the unit and how simple it was to hook up.  I let a few guys try it and most of them liked it.  It isn’t for everyone and it will not fix a bad car, but on a good car it can be worth a few tenths and very consistent times.  I was surprised with how well it worked for so many different drivers.”
