We met in college and started down a path of renewable energy racing as we pursued our mechanical engineering degrees. By the time we graduated, we had created a race team, built relationships with excellent sponsors and set up a motorsports shop.
As business partners, we got our start as founders of the non-profit group Greenspeed Research in Boise, Idaho. Greenspeed Research hit the national stage as we set multiple land speed records with our custom built, renewable energy, truck in the C/DT class at El Mirage and the Bonneville Salt Flats.
We spent years designing and building the custom high performance solutions we needed to break records and showcase our passion for renewable energy in one of the most trying environments for cutting edge applications: racing.
Racing proved to be the ultimate test of our fabrication and design techniques and sharpened every skill set used to create the Delta VS product lines.
As outdoor enthusiasts, we were raised in the Rocky Mountains. We have learned to build solutions for all seasons, terrains, and temperatures. We have been racing down the surface of the salt flats in blazing heat, 4-wheeling through fall mountain trails, camping in the desert & driven over treacherous winter mountain passes. We climb, hike, hunt, and do all we can to preserve and protect the environment we are in.
Originally from Monterey Bay but raised in Idaho, Patrick has a formal education in Mechanical Engineering and comes from a custom building and fabrication background. He played a critical role in achieving the build of the World's Fastest Vegetable Oil Powered Vehicle. Patrick donates time developing and running programs to provide students with hands-on learning opportunities to encourage higher education in the STEM disciplines.
From Idaho's Wood River Valley, Dave brings a custom building & metalworking background. With a formal Mechanical Engineering education, he is a builder of race vehicles and holds the World Record for Fastest Landspeed of a Vegetable Oil Powered Vehicle at 209.091mph and fastest C-engine Diesel Truck at 219.411mph. He is a respected leader who donates time to development of STEM learning opportunities for the next generation of engineering students.
