Southern Speed

At Southern Speed in Tupelo, we build, tune, and dial in serious drag racing machines. Since 1999, our shop has specialized in drag car suspension, chassis setup, wiring, plumbing, fuel systems, oiling systems, and power adder installs for racers across the United States.

Whether you’re chasing a personal best in the eighth mile or building a competitive bracket car, we deliver proven performance backed by decades of hands-on experience — and an in-ground Mustang dynamometer for real-world results.

SSR Founded by

Wade Hopkins

What started in his dad’s masonry shop became one of the country’s most trusted and most respected drag racing performance shops.
 

In 2006, Wade and his wife Tina expanded into a new facility in Tupelo, Mississippi, and installed an in-ground Mustang dynamometer. After retiring from the Tupelo Fire Department in 2017, Wade committed to Southern Speed full-time and now splits his time between the shop and tuning customer cars at the dragstrip.

Today, our tight-knit team — Wade, Tina, Wesley, and Garret — serves racers nationwide. We may be a small, family-run shop, but our cars run with the best of them!
