Don Davis Race Cars launches new Bracket “Eliminator” Roadster

Don Davis Race Cars (DDRC), Hughes Motorsports, and Doug Foley Jr. are proud to present the new DDRC Bracket “Eliminator” Roadster

SALISBURY, NC — Don Davis Race Cars (DDRC), Hughes Motorsports, and bracket racing driver Doug Foley Jr. have teamed up to create the ultimate new weapon for bracket racers — the DDRC Bracket “Eliminator” Roadster — and early production is already underway.

Engineered with direct input from championship-winning racers, the DDRC Bracket “Eliminator” Roadster blends proven craftsmanship, driver feedback, and real-world racing experience to deliver consistency, stability, and round-after-round repeatability — the true keys to winning in today’s toughest bracket racing environments.

“This isn’t just another roadster — it’s a race-winning platform, engineered with racers’ input to meet racers’ needs,” said Scott Anderson, owner of Don Davis Race Cars. “Every detail, from chassis setup to driver feel, has been developed to deliver confidence, predictability, and results.”

Built specifically for the demanding, high-pressure world of sportsman drag racing, the Eliminator features precision 4-link chassis geometry and a lightweight strut front end for maximum stability, adjustable driver ergonomics for superior comfort and control, and engine placement optimized for ideal weight distribution and balance. From a carbon fiber dash and interior panel options to a gas strut-assisted body lift for quick maintenance, every element of the chassis is engineered with the racer in mind.

The Eliminator is built on a 4130 Chromoly Roadster chassis with a 105-inch wheelbase and a 42-inch track width. As shipped, it weighs approximately 2,150 pounds with a Big Block Chevy (BBC) engine. The rear housing is a custom Moser Engineering DDRC 4-link design, and all chassis tabs come pre-welded for quick and easy setup.

Feedback from elite racers has played a central role in shaping the Eliminator Roadster. Jim Hughes, owner of Hughes Motorsports and a championship-winning driver, shared: “The Eliminator has everything a driver wants and nothing they don’t. It’s the car you’d build if you had the time, tools, and thirty years of mistakes to learn from — and they already did that work for you.” 

Meanwhile, Doug Foley Jr., a proven bracket racing standout, added, “When you’re making pass after pass with money or championships on the line, you need a car that’s predictable and stable every single time. That’s exactly what the DDRC Bracket ‘Eliminator’ Roadster provides — confidence.”

Production is underway at Don Davis Race Cars’ facility in Salisbury, NC, with first deliveries expected soon. Interest has been strong — racers serious about elevating their programs are encouraged to contact DDRC early to reserve a build slot.
