We are happy to announce that despite ceasing operations early in 2011, Demon Carburetors and BG Fuel Systems are on their way back! Barry Grant started the company in the 1990s, after positioning himself as one of racing’s top Holley Carburetor builders. Grant took his company to the next level when he introduced his own line of 4 barrel carburetors, fuel pumps, regulators, and fuel system components. When the announcement came right before the 2011 NHRA Winternationals that BG and Demon would be shutting down operations, many racers and fans were stunned. For the past 6 months the industry has been abuzz with questions of Demon’s future. Rumors have been floating around for the past few weeks about a
purchase of Demon’s assets, but we are not authorized to divulge the who and how much at
this time. 

What we can tell you is that thanks to a recent purchas of assets, Demon and BG Fuel Systems plans a “resurrection” at the 2011 SEMA Show in Las Vegas. Details of their new structure, product lines, etc. are not available at this time, but rest assured more information will be forthcoming soon and we’ll keep you up to date here at BangShift.  In addition, you can check them out at BarryGrant.com.

Below is the press release from Demon and BG Fuel Systems.

DEMON CARBURETION & BG FUEL SYSTEMS TO BE
RESURRECTED

Dahlonega,
GA: After a brief
hiatus, plans are moving ahead rapidly to revive the popular Demon Carburetion
and BG Fuel Systems brands.

This new
business will be run by a fresh team of race and performance enthusiasts that
is committed to bringing you high quality products and exceptional customer
service.

The Demon brand of carburetors emerged in the late nineteen-nineties in
Dahlonega, Georgia. Twenty-five miles away
resided two awesome Bills from Dawsonville: one Elliott the other Goldberg.
Goldberg, a former football player and then wrestler, had imposing proportions,
bald-headed, 6ft 5in and 290lb. He also loved hot rods and as a persuasive
advocate for Demon agreed to act as the ambassador for the new carburetor brand
at the forthcoming SEMA show. Upon his arrival he was mobbed by fans and
well-wishers and toward the end of a 10am television interview in the SEMA
halls the limousine driver said, “Once you get him moving hold your
momentum or he’ll never reach the Demon booth!” Motivated by this
considerable insight Goldberg was duly escorted to his destination in short
order, and the adjacent queues of young men eagerly awaiting the autographs of
voluptuous young booth babes defected and blocked the isles as they rushed to
join Goldberg’s Demon line—followed by the voluptuous young booth
babes! A dozen years later Demon Carburetion
looks forward to celebrating its second coming at this year’s SEMA show!

Stay tuned
for more information regarding availability and look for the re-launch of the
Barry Grant brands at SEMA later this fall. In addition regular updates will be
posted on the BarryGrant.com website.
