About Us

Speed Academy is a YouTube channel focused on finding ways to make the cars and trucks we love even more fun than the day they left the assembly line. You'll find a high-performance focus in our videos, where we test the latest go-fast parts and build a wide range of project cars while documenting the improvements in performance every step of the way. 

Peter Tarach and Dave Pratte, the driving forces behind Speed Academy, have been building, modifying, evaluating and racing cars for over two decades and were the primary content creators behind the now shuttered Modified Magazine. 

Thanks for your interest in Speed Academy. We appreciate the support and we hope to see you at the track soon!
