About Us
(THIS PAGE IS UNDER CONSTRUCTION)
Speed Freak Garage, LLC was founded by James “Professor” Smoot, son of the midwest’s infamous “Fantasy” Jim Smoot, who owned and operated the Fantasy Coachworks corporation from 1975 until 2008. James was raised in a high-octane world, where he grew to love custom cars, and in June of 2007, started his own horsepower-fueled adventure: PowerSports. James then attended UMR, one of the USA’s finest engineering schools, and graduated with a B.S. in Engineering Management, maintaining a strong focus on Mechanical Engineering, and achieving the title of Associate Engineering Manager (ASEM). He also participated in the Miner Baja (SAE) off-road racing team, where he assisted in the development of a dune buggy tasked with competing in a multi-national off-road endurance competition. James is currently working full-time as a Quality Engineer in the automotive industry, where he is continuing to hone his broad MechE skill-set. In his free time, he modifies and races any vehicle that he can get his hands on.
