Forward Direction Motorsports (FDM) is proud to announce the expansion of the Pantano chassis line in the United States with the appointment of Timmy Tech as its official East Coast distributor.

Following a successful 2025 campaign highlighted by multiple wins and podium finishes across the Western United States and strong performances in the SKUSA Pro Tour, FDM set its sights on expanding its presence into the Eastern U.S. market. With the geographic scale of the United States presenting logistical challenges, establishing an East Coast distribution point significantly improves shipping efficiency, reduces delivery times, and enhances trackside support for Pantano drivers and dealers nationwide.

Timmy Tech, led by respected karting professional Tim Shutt, will serve as the hub for Pantano chassis sales, service, and technical support throughout the Eastern United States. Based in Troutman, North Carolina and Trackhouse Motorplex, Timmy Tech brings a proven reputation for professionalism, integrity, and performance to the Pantano brand.

Beyond distribution, Timmy Tech operates a highly respected race program known for its meticulous preparation, driver development expertise, and consistent on-track results. The team’s commitment to excellence mirrors the standards set by Forward Direction Motorsports and the Pantano chassis line worldwide.

“Timmy Tech represents exactly what we look for in a partner,” said Greg Welch, owner of FDM. “Their professionalism, attention to detail, and commitment to driver success make them the ideal choice to lead Pantano’s growth on the East Coast.”

Tim Shutt, owner of Timmy Tech, shared his enthusiasm for the partnership: “We are excited for the opportunity to represent Pantano on the East Coast and provide drivers with the equipment, knowledge, and support they need to compete at the highest level. FDM has built tremendous

momentum with the Pantano chassis, and we’re proud to be part of its continued growth in the United States.”

With this expansion, Forward Direction Motorsports reinforces its commitment to building a strong, nationwide support network for Pantano drivers—ensuring faster service, enhanced event presence, and continued success at regional and national competition levels.
