A long time ago in a drift world not unlike our own. A mechanic lived by the rules of the open road. Sleeping in dumpsters and eating at truck stops. Battling road ants and wrenching till he bled. Dave Shoemaker was this tireless road warrior. As you may or may not know Dave was the mechanic for the mythical albeit short lived “Team Snake Bite”. He was getting down and dirty keeping Ryan Tuerck and Tony Angelo’s privateer machines running.
At Jersey Formula D last year i saw him swap a transmission on the ground in like 20 minutes, in blistering heat. All this mayhem eventually caught up with poor Dave and he retired late in the 07 season. Packed up his belongings and shipped his life back home, To the East Coast. Manchester NH to be more specific.
Dave took a minute and tried to settle down and fell back into his old profession rather nicely at Spyglass Tattoo in the little town of Manchester.
So to the point.
Dave Sent me the link to his new website and i think you should all check it out.

Dave does some amazing work and can be seen on most of the non pussy Drift Alliance drivers myself included.
Here is a picture of my work by Dave “Hammer Time”
Good Luck Dave!!
