Dave's High Performance is the result of many years of hard work. We race what we sell and enjoy giving our customers with that Need For Speed the same opportunity. 

I'm Dave Thompson, owner, chief cook and bottle washer.  I saw Temecula first in 1974, often riding motorcycles here with my Father, Howard Sr and Brother, Howard Jr who are also automotive enthusiasts. My younger sister Julie got hooked on that horse back riding thing and well lets just say she likes that.  I worked for a Chevrolet Dealer as a tune up technician and derivability expert through the 80's when I decided to live my dream and open my own business.

In 1985 I moved to Temecula permanently and with a lot of help from my Mom, Dad and Brother "Auto Doctor-DAVE'S Performance" was born.  That has giving me the chance to build and race cars for the last 15 years. 

The Obsession continues........

In 1994  David my son and I went to our first Kart Race.  Randy Howe and his son Ryan were racing and they took David and I along to watch.  The next week we bought David’s first Go-Kart.  After about four years of racing for other shops and getting our feet wet in this sport, we decided it was time to stick our neck out and open our own shop.  San Diego was in need of a Kart Shop and who better to do it then us.

Since then Dave’s Performance has grown to be one of So California’s Premier Kart Shops and of course our Drivers have won many championships over the years.  The latest being David’s Skusa K1 National Championship and Joel Miller's two IKF Championships in 2003.We would like to invite you into our karting family.  Feel free to call and ask for me directly.  I will be happy to help you get headed on the Right Track.

See you at the track,

David C. Thompson
