History of Shop
Sneed’s Speed Shop opened for business in the spring of 2003 in a tiny 1000 square-foot storage building in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. Chris Sneed, along with the help of his brother Kenneth and wife Kerri, made a name for the shop in rotary motors and racing. Through the years, it has grown into its current location, a 10,000 square-foot shop in Pfafftown, just outside Winston-Salem.
