A bright idea from Tuff Paw: Dial In Mounts!


If you are a bracket racer, then you have to show that Dial In. For those folks, not drag racers, a dial in is the time we put on our race cars that is our best guess what our race car will go. For example, we might think that our car can go an 8.02 seconds in the 1/4 mile so we would have an 8.02 as our dial in. In the good old days, we all used shoe polish and would write the dial in on our cars with shoe polish. And then someone came along and made a shoe polish that was easier to wipe off. At Tuff Paw we make a shoe polish holder that is really handy because we all sometimes still need shoepolish to write something on the car.

But in recent years dial in boards have been developed. These dial in boards come with the ability to make the numbers clearer for the race car towers to see from a distance. The popular flip style is a black background with white pieces that you flip around to form the dial in. Recently, Digital Dealy had a really bright idea and created an electronic dial in board. The cool thing is that the dial in board on the car is electronic and glows in the dark so it is easy to read. And then the Dial in board is attached to a screen within the racecar, so the driver can change the dial in from INSIDE the car. This is really nice for guys with dragsters who don't have any pitcrew people to change or check their dial ins.

Well, with these great new dial in boards, you need a GREAT dial in holder mount! At Tuff Paw we have dial in mounts that hold these different styles and they look great. In addition, the dial in mounts can swivel so you can show your dial in from multiple sides of the dragster (right, left, or straight back) depending on what dragstrip you are at! At Tuff Paw we have the dial in board mount (dial in board NOT included) that can hold the manual dial in board or the New digital dial in board from Digital Delay. These mounts easily attach to the scoop trays. Please feel free to email or call for more information on this bright idea from Tuff Paw Aluminum Products!
And as usual, we have better quality, better price, and better service!
