In the early 1980s, Jones Racing Products was created to produce complete belt drive kits that would supply teams with all of the parts needed to install their belts and pulleys. The family-owned and operated company is located in Ottsville, Pa., and is now an industry leader in the manufacturing of belt drive systems and related components, producing their entire billet aluminum product line with the most advanced CNC machinery.
All products are manufactured in their Pennsylvania facility from start to finish, having total control over the entire process, from the sawing of the raw bar stock then into the CNC lathes or mills all the way thru the final steps of the laser marking to indicate part numbers and serial numbers. Having the ability to manufacture parts in house gives Jones Racing Products the advantage of keeping every part to exacting tolerances.
“Jones Racing Products has operated with the goal of improving race car efficiency,” said president, CJ Jones. “Over the years that desire to be creative and successful has grown and grown.”
