Dave Lynn

Dave Lynn has been a staunch supporter and one of my right hand men in putting on the Ga Tech Auto Show. After receiving a degree in transportation design from Art Center College of Design in California, Dave Lynn began working for Georgia Tech graduate Jim Downing and designing Le Mans-style prototype race cars in the early 1990’s. By 1996 one of his designs, called the Kudzu DLM, had been driven by Jim Downing to a LMP2 class victory at the 24 hours of Le Mans in France. Other cars of his design have won the 24 hours of Daytona and helped confirm Jim Downing as a world class endurance racer. He was the aesthetic designer of the street car that was constructed by Evans Automobiles, a company founded by John Evans, a Georgia Tech graduate. This car was displayed at the 2004 and 2005 Georgia Tech Auto Shows. Dave now teaches studios and classes in the Program of Industrial Design in the College of Architecture at Georgia Tech and is a part owner of Laughing Dog Design Studios, LLC here in Atlanta. He also put together what might be the best  on-line history of the Chassis.
