September 2005 - MY HOW TIMES FLIES
By Darrell Sitarz, Editor

If you been on track for the ride with us, then you probably know this is our 4th Anniversary online and 14th overall publishing Kart Marketing International, better known as KMI or

e-KMI. And by now you know what were all about — sharing information for and about the business of karting.  Unlike other karting magazines or websites, we cover topics not usually found in those media – topics as well as timely karting news for the racing, fun, concession and indoor karting – a multi-billion dollar industry.

As for the website itself, we hope you have noticed the new design and layout which is more reader friendly. The news is right up front, now with weekday updates and e-z access to past stories. The monthly columns again are easily accessible as is our extensive archives with over 1,300 pages of information available.

We’ve come a long, long way since (former partner) Bob Cycon and I sat down and mapped out the magazine on a cocktail napkin one winter evening. It has since become one the most widely read information websites in the karting industry. And we’re not done yet.

In the works are two brand new sites: KartFax.com and KartSearch.com.

KartFax.com, The Ultimate Kart Chassis Resource Center, will be, when populated, an enormous resource guide for anyone looking to purchase a kart, whether it be racing, fun, concession, indoor or promotional. The site, 3 years in development is set for its official debut soon.

KartSearch.com, The International Karting Industry Buyer’s Guide—Online, will be a web version of our extremely popular printed guide which sold more than 70,000 copies in the 7 years it was print-published. The site, set to launch later this summer, will feature more than 400 product categories covering everything in karting from A to Z.

Look for both of these new products online very soon!

As you can see, we here at the Kart Marketing Group on not sitting on our laurels. We’re using our time constantly looking for ways to help the karting industry, karters, those looking to get into the sport or into the business. Information is the lifeblood of any business and hopefully we, through all of our products, can and will provide the information you need.

Thanks for your support, suggestions and comments!

All the Best,
Darrell Sitarz
President
Kart Marketing Group, Inc.
