Dave Gutwillig - owner/fabricator
Dave has been involved in the automotive industry for 16 years, working in a variety of different areas to develop his skill sets. While working at Skip Barber Racing School, he learned the fundamentals of chassis repair, race prep, and race vehicle maintenance. To enhance his understanding of driveline mechanics, he worked at Longview Driveshaft & 4x4 for several years. dave was able to strengthen his fabrication skills as well as build his reputation while working at Javier's Gulf coast crawl shop, a leading offroad shop in houston.
Dave began racing offroad in 2010 and went on to win the first race that he ever competed in, M.O.R.O.C. at Brazos Valley Offroad Ranch. He has finished in the top 5 twice at the King of the Canyons Endurance race at canyons offroad park in Fredericksburg, TX. Dave raced the King of the Hammers in 2011, finishing 37th out of 100 racers, of which only 47 vehicles finished the race. He has raced the Baja Racing of Texas Texana 250 multiple times and was an extra driver for our friends at krawltex in the chupacabra 300, also in texana. dave and his team came in second place in his class at the texas desert racing "twin 150s", a 300 mile race in the west texas desert.
From 101 classes and rock crawling with friends, rock races and obstacle courses, weekends of driving down a 130 mile long 4wd-only beach, to powering through the desert in the hardest offroad race in the usa, dave has done it. with this experience and the prep that comes with it, he has gained the first hand knowledge it takes to build and maintain the proper offroad vehicle for any activity.
