MONTEZUMA — A locally owned Montezuma business has recently made a change.
The service department at Fun Valley Motorsports & More at 1066 500th St., is now RaceCraft Performance.
Shay Moore, who has been the service manager and mechanic at Fun Valley Motorsports & More since February 2020, has purchased the service end of the business and changed the name.
The change took place in late February.
Kelly Bryan will remain as owner of Fun Valley Motorsports & More, the local dealer for ODES Powersports UTV vehicles.
The business specializes in repairing and servicing all brands of motorcycles, ATVs, UTVS, PWCs (Jet Skis), snowmobiles and all makes, models and brands of off-road vehicles.
Moore is a nationally certificated technical and warranty service center adviser and mechanic of ODES Powersports UTV vehicles.
“We do every type of service and regular maintenance,” said Moore. “We also offer performance options for engines and suspensions on ATVs, UTVs and more.”
In addition, the business sells off-road equipment, oil, batteries, tires and all service related parts.
Moore is a native of Montezuma where he grew up racing motocross. He attended Motorcycle Mechanics Institute in Phoenix for two years, graduating in 2009.
He has held various jobs from working on motorcycles and off-road equipment as a sideline job, spending time as a welder and for two years, he worked for a company in Urbandale that makes engine parts.
“I love this area out here,” he said of his business. “I grew up snowboarding and racing motocross at Fun Valley.”
When the chance came up to take over the service business, Moore said it was something he’d always wanted to do.
“The opportunity came up and I was finally able to have my own business,” said Moore.
He said a big thanks goes out to the local community for supporting Fun Valley Motorsports & More and helping him get to this point and making this happen.
“I’m stoked to get to do what I love, at the base of the hill of a legendary spot like Fun Valley where I made so many memories growing up.”
