Thread: Racing parts store in DFW

  1. #1

    Default Racing parts store in DFW

    I seem to remember there used to be a local store that sold some racing items such as helmets, gloves, gauges etc somewhere but can't seem to find anything with google. Does anyone know of such a shop?

    Motorsport Sales in Dallas, on Floyd Road just behind TI. 972-644-2533. It's a hole in the wall, but great local source for Redline fluids or Simpson products.

    no, Bobby went out of business and Performance Speedtech at MSR bought his inventory

    I know people who have bought stuff from them at prices comparable to internet sales (seats, brake fluid, pads)

    PST is a great place, IMO. One of the guys there was a former student from back in my teachind days. I've also shopped at Smiley's in Kennedale since he's just a 10 minute drive from my place. Vick looks promising. I'm going to have to go by there sometime.
