-I believe he was the first guy to run mid\high second passes on a T2 tranny.

-Did a couple of 174MPH (or was it 176MPH) passes on a 3/4 chassis, the neat thing is that that was about 6 years ago!!!

-Tune the first 3/4 chassis starlet to hit the 7 senconds

-He did more than what I have mention.

There is more on David, he was a EXTREMELY knowleadgeable, & would answer your questions!
David & Sarito was one of the top builder\tuners in PR, if you have been to Atco, you must have seen on of their cars.

It is very unfortunate, and a big loss for PR and the sport

RIP!

He wasn't the owner of tthe "Quiles" starlet, but he was the tuner\mechanic (along with Sarito), David was the one who had the last run\accident on the starlet. The same strlet that with a 3/4 chassis broke the 7 second barrier!!

RIP
