LFR CHASSIS
EXPANDS OPERATIONS TO BENEFIT NORTHEAST RACECARS |
With
the start of 2016 only a few days away, LFR Chassis
is proud to extend its current operations in the
Northeast with a new facility as well as the
addition of long-time crew chief Jimmy Fuller to the
staff.
LFR Chassis owner Rob Fuller has partnered with Bob
Charland to open a 6,500 square foot facility in
Stafford, Conn. that will sell and service LFR
Chassis. This opportunity builds upon what Eddie
Flemke and his team has done to service LFR teams in
the Northeast.
“We have big plans to help service our customers in
the Northeast and this is phase 1 in a 3-phase
process,” said Fuller. “Eddie Flemke has been
instrumental in servicing the LFR teams in the
Northeast and will continue to do so. We had six (6)
modifieds and one Super Late Model north of
Pennsylvania last year. In 2016, we will have 10
modifieds and eight (8) Supers so to expect Eddie to
be able to handle this all on his own was not
feasible.”
“Eddie is a one-man show these days and I do not
want to overload him at this stage of his career,”
continued Fuller. “He is still looking after his
Raceworks customers as well, so he was all about
getting some help to service the LFR customers. He
will be at this facility at times to help while
taking care of his shop down the road.”
Fuller is excited to expand his Northeast operations
with Charland, who has retail experience and space
available in the area. Both Fuller and Ryan Stone,
head of modifieds at LFR Chassis, will be heavily
involved in the Northeast operation.
“Bob Charland has really stepped up to the plate by
providing the shop and his expertise in retail
sales,” Fuller commented. “He has a great group
already in place to handle sales and shipping while
we will focus on providing the equipment and
technical support to the Northeast region.”
Jimmy Fuller, a long-time crew chief and veteran in
the modified industry, will join LFR Chassis in the
Northeast facility this year.
“It's pretty cool to offer my uncle Jimmy a position
in the company,” said Fuller. “He's a hard worker
and has a wealth of experience in this sport. I
think he will put in the hours required to make this
a success and will feed of the people around him.
It's exciting for him as well, I believe. He is
ready for something steady and we look forward to
providing him with this opportunity.”
The growth of LFR Chassis has continued to surprise
the industry and multiple phases of the Northeast
growth plan will be revealed in the coming months.
“We are working diligently on the second phase of
the New England area expansion and look forward to
providing more information when ready,” said Fuller.
“The final product will be a state-of-the-art
facility in the Northeast to provide engineering
support, the most current parts inventory in the
region, and all the necessary pieces to compete at
The Next Level of Motorsports. It's an exciting time
for sure!”
