For Immediate Release
(Wyalusing, PA) Ron Shaffer recognized a need by the racers to be able to get most popular kart supplies and parts locally, and more importantly at Wyalusing Valley Motorsports Park. Track Promoter Billy Maynard had been trying to keep some items on hand, but was just too occupied with his race day duties to offer the service the racers needed. By the end of the season, Shaffer and wife Janice opened JRS Kart Parts and had significantly increased their inventory. He and Maynard met to see what would be best for the racers in 2010, and it was decided that Maynard would turn over the fuel vending duties to Shaffer and MEI Smallcar would no longer sell kart parts, concentrating solely on Slingshot parts as the areas Slingshot by Tobias dealer.
Shaffer immediately began growing JRS. He bought out MEI Smallcar's entire kart related inventory. Then he and Janice expanded their inventory even further, now with well over $10,000 worth of parts IN STOCK!
When it recently became apparent that there would be no parts vendor at WVMP for microsprints, Shaffer once again stepped up to the plate. He has made an agreement with RTS Chassis to become an RTS dealer. He will soon be making a trip to RTS for a crash course in what the absolute necessities are for in-stock items.
One's immediate reaction might be that the guy sees an opportunity to benefit. To make such an investment in such a short time shows a much greater commitment, one that goes far beyond trying to grab the quick buck.
Need proof? JRS Kart Parts has just stepped up as the primary point fund sponsor of 2010. A portion of the price of EVERY GALLON OF FUEL sold at the track in 2010 will go to the point fund. By "inflating" the price of the fuel? No way. Barring a significant price fluctuation by the fuel company, the fuel prices will remain the same as 2009. This essentially means that this support of the point fund is coming out of the pockets of JRS Kart Parts!
