Dedenbear Products: Engineering the Edge in Drag Racing
Dedenbear Products, Inc. has been a cornerstone of the drag racing world since 1979, when founders Debra and Dennis Reid launched what would become one of the most respected names in bracket and competition racing equipment. With the development of the world's first electronic delay box, Dedenbear launched drag racing into the technology age and changed the game forever. That spirit of innovation hasn't slowed down since.
Dedenbear Products, Inc. has been helping drag racers trip the win lights since 1979 and produces a wide range of innovative specialist and quality racing components including delay boxes, remote displays, nitrous timers, auto shifters, throttle stops, CO2 accessories, and water pumps. Every product in their lineup reflects an engineering-first philosophy — the result of decades of real-world feedback from serious competitors at tracks across the country.
Built for the Track, Engineered to Last
What separates Dedenbear from the competition is a commitment to precision and durability that shows up in every part they make. Like all Dedenbear products, their solenoid shifters are engineered both for winning performance and longest possible life. The units are permanently lubricated, with hard chromed, ground shafts riding in bronze bushings inside the solenoid, and aluminum mounting brackets finished in black and red anodize for corrosion resistance.
At the heart of their lineup is the automatic transmission shifter solenoid — a critical piece of equipment for any serious bracket racer. Dedenbear's solenoid shifters automatically shift the transmission at a preset RPM or preset time, improving E.T. consistency of any automatic transmission race car, allowing the driver to keep both hands on the steering wheel and concentrate on winning instead of shifting.
Equally important in the race-day toolkit are Dedenbear's CO2 tanks and installation kits. Dedenbear's 2- and 3-speed CO2 shifters are engineered to make the low-to-high shift on 2-speed Powerglide transmissions and the 1-2 and 2-3 shifts on 3-speed transmissions, designed as a direct bolt-on with no modifications required for the Turbo Action Cheetah SCS shifter and featuring large, oversize cylinders and high-flow solenoid valves. Their CO2 bottles, regulators, and complete kits ensure you have consistent, reliable air pressure when it matters most.
Rounding out their cooling and support product range, Dedenbear also offers electric water pumps designed for remote mounting — a popular solution for drag cars where engine-driven accessories are removed to free up horsepower. Traditionally known for their CO2-powered drag racing accessories such as throttle stops and air shifters, Dedenbear has expanded to offer cooling accessories and nitrous controllers as well.
