JDS, the leading name in slot car drag racing products, is excited to announce the launch of its new Distributor Program. This initiative is designed to broaden the reach of JDS’s high-quality products, making them more accessible to race tracks and hobby shops across the market. Building upon the success of our existing Authorized Dealer Program, this new distributor level offers a significant opportunity for businesses looking to capitalize on the growing demand for slot car drag racing components.
Since acquiring JDS in 2023, the new ownership has made substantial investments in the company, injecting tens of thousands of dollars to significantly expand on-hand inventories and introduce innovative new products. Alongside this product expansion, we’ve launched a brand-new website, JDSSlotcars.com, and established the JDS NDRC racing series, further demonstrating our commitment to the slot car drag racing community.
Following the successful launch of the NDRC, JDS is thrilled to announce a four-race National series for 2024, underscoring our dedication to promoting the hobby and providing exciting competitive platforms.
JDS is deeply invested in the slot car industry, committed to supporting race tracks, hobby shops, and the passionate enthusiasts who drive this hobby. We stand alone as the only company in the slot car drag racing sector actively promoting races, tracks, and the sport itself.
Important Note: This Distributor Program is exclusively for resellers. Direct retail sales are strictly prohibited, whether online or through physical storefronts. Any Distributor found engaging in retail operations, either under their registered business name or any other alias (including platforms like eBay or Amazon), will be immediately downgraded to Dealer status. The core function of a Distributor within this program is to supply retailers, such as hobby shops and race tracks. Online retailers interested in individual programs based on bulk purchases are encouraged to contact JDS directly to discuss tailored arrangements.
