John Green - Service Foreman

John has been working on anything he could get his hands on since he can remember. He learned the basics on things like lawn mowers and farm equipment, and then got into 4-wheelers, dirt bikes, and snowmobiles. By the time he was 14, John was working on modifying automobile engines for friends. After building a few strong street engines for himself and others he began making contacts in the local dirt racing and drag racing communities.

While in college, at Pennsylvania College of Technology, John spent most of his spare time at various race shops and race tracks turning wrenches on everything from micro-sprints to sprint cars and street cars to 8 second drag cars. After graduating with a degree in Automotive Technology he worked full time for Platts Motors Inc. as a technician where he specialized in Honda and Acura, but worked on all makes and models. John also began building, tuning, and maintaining engines for local dirt track teams along with assisting in car setups. During this time these teams won rookie of the year, multiple races, and multiple championships.

Eventually the desire to stay in the racing world, and his Fiancé’s job, moved him to North Carolina. Once here he started working as a shop mechanic and pit crew member for Brunnhoelzl Racing, in the NASCAR Whelen Southern Modified series and working part time for Sears Auto Center. Since Steve and Chris offered him the job at 3SX John has been learning a new type of tuning. Bringing his knowledge of race engine building and customer car repair with him, and combining it with the vast knowledge of the other 3SX employees, he can hone his skills to provide the best service he can at 3SX Performance.
