David started dirt kart racing in the early 90's at the age of 9 on the east coast of NC. After many years behind the wheel racing with his father, David introduced his sons, Jack Attack, Gavin "Lil Poppa," and Mad Max to the world of racing. The need for speed runs deep in the Smith family.

David is a devoted Christian, husband, and father. Founding KartSpeed Solutions in January 2021 is a culmination of a love for racing, years of experience as a driver, a desire to help others learn and grow, and a keen interest in using data analytics to find speed.
