Northstar Motorsports
Great service and great products! The staff does a great job of explaining the products they offer and the differences between them. Northstar Motorsports first opened in 1990 primarily as a local business. In 1997 John and Jeannie Ruther bought the Company and immediately moved it to a new 5,000 square foot facility housing a retail showroom, offices, warehouse and race shop.

John and Jeannie have enjoyed a lifetime of being car enthusiasts. John started racing cars in his 20s while in the Army stationed in Germany. He really enjoyed attending driving schools and racing at the famous Nurburgring Nordschliefe. It was quite an experience calling the world's most difficult track his home track.

Agnes is so helpful!
Very good communication with her throughout the order process even though we had limited options but she took time to look and find something that will be perfect for me to wear this coming spring/summer season in racing my radical.
Thank You Agnes for your help.

Always an excellent experience ordering over the phone with Mark. He is very resourceful and a pleasure to chat with. NorthStar has been awesome and they know their stuff like no one else. (Ordered my Bell Helmet, Hans, OMP Race suit and Socks through these guys.)

The best Porsche Racing shop you can go Mark is extremely knowledgeable and will figure out exactly what you need. John is also on the ball with the newest safety gear and recommendations to boot!

Family owned by an ex racecar driver. The wife is super knowledge and wasn't trying to upsell us. We decided on a helmet and she said she found one much cheaper without a bunch of things I don't need.

Amazing service. They know their stuff. Went with a friend to find a helmet and they spent the time to find one that fit perfectly. Tried on several helmets from various brand and price ranges. They make sure you get the right one! Highly recommend checking them out for track day gear!

Super knowledgeable staff. I buy all of my autox and road racing safety equipment from Northstar and will never go anywhere else. They have tons of helmets, seats, suits, HANS, and anything else needed to race safely in stock to try on before you buy.

I've been a customer of Northstar Motorsports for over a decade and I can't recommend them enough. The staff is super-knowledgeable and happy to explain products in detail. I also appreciate the fact that I can test fit safety items before I commit to buy; One size does not fit all and I'm a more confident driver knowing my gear has been fitted properly.
