Racemate Alternator
John Barrett, inventor of the Racemate Alternator, has been involved in race cars for over 40 years. Working on race cars and boats for most of his life, he has gained a vast knowledge of racing from the ground up. Barrett Engineering Inc., is dedicated to manufacturing high quality products that are on the cutting edge of racing technology. We thank you for your interest in our Company.
The true racing alternator!
In 1989, John Barrett was approached by a local racer with a power problem. He needed an alternator for his race car that was smaller, yet more reliable. Even though the racer was asking for the impossible, John was up for the challenge. He came up with a revolutionary new idea that eliminated the conventional alternator, hardware, brackets and belt. John also went one step further by inventing an alternator that weighs only 3 lbs. and uses less than 1/3 horsepower to drive. Soon after, Barrett Engineering Inc. begin manufacturing the RACEMATE. During the first year of production, Barrett Engineering Inc. won S.E.M.A.’s award for “Best New Performance Racing Product.”
