THE RACERS EDGE
US KARTING ORGANIZATIONS TO HOLD ‘OPEN FORUMS’ AT KART EXPO – A FIRST!

For the first time ever, the major US kart racing sanctioning organizations will conduct ‘open forum’ sessions at the 2003 Kart Expo International. The 11th annual show will be held on February 22-23, at the Pheasant Run Resort and Convention Center in St. Charles, Illinois, near Chicago. Each association — WKA, IKF, IRA, Rotax, SKUSA and Stars of Tomorrow — will be available individually during the expo weekend in a forum-type setting where racers and other interested parties will have an opportunity to ask questions of representatives of each group.

The forum schedule is as follows:

“I am thrilled that the US karting associations, as a group, have agreed to participate in this type of program,” said Darrell Sitarz, Expo Director. “An open forum such as this will afford karters an unprecedented opportunity – a chance to speak directly to the leaders of each sanctioning body, face-to-face and get answers to questions and concerns, in a non-competitive setting.”

Kart Expo International is the premier kart racing show in North America. The show attracts exhibitors and attendees from around the world with all aspects of kart racing represented in over 200 booths. The event also hosts a series of seminars on interesting topics available free to attendees during the weekend. 

Kart Expo is sponsored by Roc Timing Systems, Shifter Kart Illustrated, The Rock Island Grand Prix, International Racing Association, Speedway USA, The Inside Track, e-KMI.com and KartFax.com.
