Exotic Toy Builder

"We are not trying to re-invent the wheel, we're just making it rounder"

Exotic Toy Builder is best known for the Tire Wizz. The Tire Wizz gives you the ability to dismount tires with ease, off your one piece rims, without fear of damaging the rim or tire in 90 seconds or less. The more you use the Tire Wizz the faster you will become. The tool is made of aircraft aluminum, heat treated to T-6 condition for long service. It is small enough to fit in your pocket.

The Tire Strap keeps tires from stretching, which is unlike concentric tire straps. Exotic Toy Builder also makes a Tool Tray, and Tire Snot, an excellent bead lubricant.

Exotic Toy Builder's specialties is the manufacturing of new products that are not currently available. "We eat, live and breath karting," said owner Grant Goracy.

Exotic Toy Builder is a full manufacturing facility. "We only produce the best possible products. Everything we sell is designed to be a work horse," added Goracy.

Exotic Toy Builders offers on site service at high-profile events such as the World Championships, the North American Karting Championships, the Spring Nationals in Phoenix, Lake Perris, Calif., and Adams Kart Track in California.

Five people keep the shop at Exotic Toy Builders running. One of them is up-and-coming driver Scott Houle.

Exotic Toy Builder has been in business for 15 years, most of which was spent in the auto high-fi and restoration industry. Now Exotic Toy Builder only manufactures karting related products. "Getting involved in karting led me to the manufacturing of the Tire Wizz, and the development of new products," said Goracy.

Exotic Toy Builders' hours are early to late. It is not uncommon for Goracy to be in the shop at 5 a.m. and leave at 7-8 p.m.

Exotic Toy Builders does offer walk-in and over the counter sales, as well as phone orders.

You will be able to meet Grant Goracy and learn more about the Tire Wizz at the Kart Expo show in Indianapolis, and the WKA Kart Fest show in February.
