Article Reprinted from the NORTHWEST HERALD Newspaper, July 25, 1997 Finding the perfect partner in business, much less finding a lifelong partner in marriage, is no easy task. Easy or not, John and Jeannie Ruther have done it. Their marriage dates to 1980 and, together, they own and operate Northstar Motorsports. John purchased Northstar Motorsports on April 1 just after retiring from a career in another field on March 31. Northstar Motorsports is located just off the beaten path of Route 14, hidden in a commercial area at 28144 Industrial Ave., Suite 108. A logo on the glass door of the commercial suite is the only indication of what awaits the sports car enthusiast. Upon entering, customers will first notice the colorful driver suits, harnesses, and racing seats hanging on the walls throughout the perimeter of the shop. The shop has a very high tech, metallic look to it. This adds an ambience that lets people know of the owners passion for the sport. Northstar is a retail store for the sports car and racing enthusiast. We sell everything from racing apparel including drivers suits, shoes, gloves and helmets to harnesses, seats and brake pads. You will also find books, videos, jewelry, leisurewear, and many other novelties, John said.
