Has anybody got a look at the Brumley device on the left rear ?

I have. Still don't understand it. I have a few pictures, but out of respect I wasn't posting them.

Think it adds more bar thrust?

[HuckleberryB4]

What is it?

[Rayburnt1]

It's a bracket attached to the birdcage, with a short little canister shock/with some bumpstops on it. I was at a Lucas race where he wrecked in qualifying, they took it off and put on the back up car.

Where on the birdcage, is it connected? What is the other end attached to? Little more description of installation would be helpful.

Man this sure sounds like an old bloomer trick. Look over here... not over here.

Sounds like you're describing his travel limiter, they run a biscuit style one, nothing too trick about it.
Something like this?

As hard as JD runs a car into the corners, I can see where a cushioned travel limiter might help keep the LR from leaving the track on entry. But most people don't like them over a standard chain because it doesn't provide consistent travel. But then again a good driver can work around that. So who knows...

Sounds to me like he is talking about a shock in place of the left top rod. I've considered trying to get n 18 inch canister shock and trying to do it on my car. My shock guy said he's tried it and very hard to tune. Seems like it would be more consistent with bump stops over a spring though

Could it be like a spring rod set up that they Run on the right side of NE modifieds?

You may be right. My thought was to use bumps too.

[TALON75]

A spring rod doesn't need an extra bracket though. Penske and Bicknell both make shocks for the springrods, hit and miss if you ask me.
