Default Race Proven Motorsports New Shop!!!
Well for those of you who know me personally this has been a long time coming. It been delayed numerous times for numerous reasons but the time has finally come. Its a big step up from my old shop but i needed it BAD. This shop is about 6k sq ft total. Friday I got keys so today I escaped from the shop for a couple hours to get started. It used to be a piano warehouse so I had to remove the carpet from the shop area. I will post pics along the process of getting it set up. I will have 3 lifts total to start, air conditioned shop, an engine assembly room, waiting room including leather couch and flat screen tv on the wall, TONS of space for parts storage, my own office and the Dyno Dynamics dyno will arrive in 4-6 weeks. Here are some pics to start.

Garage doors will be installed in the 2 spots to the right front of my truck(F-250)


2 middle spots will be garage doors


Shop Area




Waiting Room


Engine Assembly Room


Tons of Storage Space Upstairs (still more down stairs)



As you can see the parking lot is HUGE so be expecting alot of car shows/meets this summer.
