Running Bear All American chassis
|
What kind of chassis is the Running Bear tractor running and who built it? Watching the 2011 season noticed it hooks well and twist to absorb the torq well. |

Yes, it's Brian Diekman built, and I think it was a joint design by Jeff and Brian. I have spoken with both Jeff and Brain at length about the chassis and they definitely have put a ton of thought into it (both are really nice guys to talk with if you get the chance) I'm actually a little surprised that Brian hasn't built more chassis' for Super Stocks, if I remember correctly Brian also built the rails for the original Color of Money component chassis.
Running Bare All American hasn't been babied and it's held up very, very well so far. It's definitely one of the most flexible designs out there (if not the most flexible) and it seems to hook quicker than anyone else in that class. It's also very light and I think it would work extremely well for a Light Super. I'm already looking forward to seeing the new Running Bare V-8 edition, and if they build a new chassis, I can't wait to see what tweaks they make.

I had the pleasure of watching Brian drive the Runnin Bare once, he looked comfortable behind the wheel. |

Great pics. A little info behind the different editions of Runnin Bare. The first two pics with the Farris sponsored red sheet metal have the Hirt/Diekman chassis under it. The older white sheet metal has the Eder frame. The original Agco chassis was a Hirt/Johnson creation that still hooks great under the XXX sheetmetal of Keener's. |

So what is so special with this chassis design? |
Re: Running Bear All American chassis

The more the frame flexes less likely your going to break a tire loose off the line. The frame takes the twist instead of unloading one tire. |

Yes, thats correct, but I wanted to know how they managed to build in that much flex in the frame when they have to mount the engine that far back in the frame...? |
