RJ. Valentine, President and CEO. and professional race car driver

SSC East is driven by experience and enthusiasm behind the wheel of company owner and CEO, RJ Valentine. A leading businessman in New England, RJ is one of America’s most enthusiastic, independent professional race car drivers.

RJ mixes business with pleasure on a daily basis. He is the founder of F1 Boston, the wildly popular Arrive and Drive indoor karting facility. After experiencing the popularity and excitement of European karting firsthand, RJ realized it was the perfect venue in the US for the general public to experience the thrill of racing without the heavy cost—in time and money—of race car driving on a full scale. He realized that karting was the key and foundation to real racing. He has now raised the bar with the introduction of SSC Northeast, the east coast’s leading kart supplier and race organization seriously dedicated only to the sport of karting.
