DBU Creator is a Winner on the Racetrack

DBU is all about Power & Performance, and so is the maker of the product. His passion in his professional life mimics his passion in his personal life: RACING! Allen Hartley, the maker of DBU, loves to make things go fast. You can experience this first hand when you work with DBU. But you could also see that if you visit the racetrack.

Allen races a Top Fuel Dragster, sanctioned under the National Hot Rod Association, in races around the country. His car accelerates at about 4.5 to 5 g forces and generates about 8000 horsepower running on nitro-methane. The cars cover a quarter of a mile in 4.4 seconds at a speed of 330 mph. The first 2 days of racing, all cars make 4 qualifying runs. On the last day of the races, the fastest 16 cars compete in a single elimination ladder with the fastest car running against the slowest car down thru its class.

Allen & his crew are fabulous to watch race. So, if you want to feel the Power & Performance, head to one of the many NHRA locations and watch Allen in action. It’s almost as good as DBU!
