A racecar build is a different project than a performance street build. The margins are tighter, the stakes are higher, and cutting corners anywhere in the build is a reliability risk at best and a safety risk at worst. We build race vehicles that are meant to compete — not just look the part on the trailer.
Cage fabrication or cage installation, fire suppression, harness and seat setup, window nets, and kill switches. We build to the rulebook for whatever series or event you're running — SCCA, HPDE, time attack, or Pikes Peak. If the class requires it, we include it.
Coilovers, sway bars, subframe connectors, alignment for the intended use, and corner balancing. A race suspension is tuned for the specific track and conditions — not just set to manufacturer spec. We set up cars that actually handle correctly under load.
Engine builds, transmission swaps, differential rebuilds, and cooling systems designed for sustained high-RPM use. We build reliability into the powertrain first — because a faster car that grenades a transmission in session two is not a race car.
Standalone ECU installs, tuning for the power level and intended fuel, and supporting electrical work. A race tune is different from a street tune — we build for the operating conditions you'll actually see at the event.
Oil temp, coolant temp, fuel pressure, and data logging for post-session analysis. Knowing what your car is doing on track is how you get faster and catch problems before they become failures.
Every job at C&D follows the same process — diagnose, quote, repair, verify. See how it works →
We build for autocross, HPDE, time attack, rally, and Pikes Peak. Call to discuss your specific series and rulebook requirements.
