BGauge Drag Dash
Compact Motorsport Display for Standalone ECU
Round racing digital dash built for drag and tight cockpit installs.
The BGauge Drag Dash is a 2.8-inch round motorsport display that shows up to six critical values from your standalone ECU over CAN. Programmable shift lights, overboost and alternator warnings — all configured from the touch screen.
Overview
When cockpit space is limited, a full-size race dashboard is not an option. Drag Dash packs a CAN bus dashboard into a round housing that fits gauge pods, steering columns, and minimalist panels.
Six simultaneous values, dedicated warning lamps, and touch-configured shift lights give you a custom race dash experience without a 7-inch mount. Built for drag, but equally at home in any tight standalone ECU build.

Compatible Standalone ECU Systems
Drag Dash uses the same CAN integration as Race Dash: connect to Megasquirt, MaxxECU, ECUMaster, or AEM and read the default data broadcast from your ECU software.
See the full supported ECU list for confirmed platforms and units in development.
CAN Bus Integration
Two-wire CAN connection to your standalone ECU bus. The display listens to the same broadcast channels you enable for logging or other motorsport electronics.
Configuration happens on the resistive touch screen — set shift points and select which values appear without a laptop at the strip or track.
Motorsport Applications
-
Drag racing
Drag racing — RPM, boost, and timing data in a round motorsport gauge display that fits tight dashes.
-
Compact installs
Compact installs — karts, kit cars, and stripped interiors where a 7-inch panel will not fit.
-
Minimalist builds
Minimalist builds — drivers who want a standalone ECU dash with only the values they need, nothing extra.
Installation
The round form factor mounts in standard gauge cutouts or custom brackets. Power and CAN wiring follow the same approach as Race Dash — see documentation for connector details.

Drag Dash FAQ
What makes the Drag Dash different from a full race dashboard? +
Drag Dash is a compact motorsport display built for tight cockpits. It shows up to 6 critical values on a 2.8-inch round screen — ideal when you need a racing digital dash without a large panel mount.
Does it work with standalone ECU systems over CAN? +
Yes. Like the Race Dash, it connects to your ECU's CAN bus and reads the default data broadcast. Confirmed platforms include Megasquirt, MaxxECU, ECUMaster, and AEM.
Is this a good CAN bus dashboard for drag racing? +
It is purpose-built for drag and minimalist installs — shift lights, overboost warning, and alternator warning in a small round housing that fits where a 7-inch display cannot.
Can I configure shift lights without a laptop? +
Yes. Thresholds and behaviour are set directly on the resistive touch screen, including with gloves on.
Does the Drag Dash include GPS? +
No. GPS is not included — drag builds typically rely on ECU speed and timing data. For built-in 20 Hz GPS, see the BGauge Race Dash.
How do I order? +
