Kart Industry Roundtable
Set For February 2009
Wheaton, IL – Kart Expo, North America’s largest kart racing industry trade &
consumer show has announced The Kart
Industry Roundtable scheduled to take
place on Friday, February 20, one day before
the doors open for the expo itself. Darrell
Sitarz, Kart Expo Director said, “It is time
for the industry to talk openly about where
karting is headed in the future in terms of
sales and marketing, manufacturing, and
how consumer perceptions of karting have
changed in the past few years.”
The participants as of this date are:
- Claude Napier; President & CEO of
The Milwaukee Mile
- Rob Howden; President of Howden
Media Group, (ekartingnews.com
- Tony Stewart; Founder & President of
Chicago Indoor Racing
- John Gregorian; CEO of Gregorian
Worldwide (investment group),
former IndyCar sponsor
- Jack Phifer; Managing Director,
Moroch Advertising
It is also expected that representatives
from Mazdaspeed, The Cooper Tires Atlantic Championship, and a major automotive
aftermarket retailer will also commit before
the roundtable on February 20th. The Kart
Industry Roundtable is open to anyone with
an interest in the sport of kart racing and the
kart industry in general.
“Challenge & Opportunities”
The roundtable, entitled “Challenges &
Opportunities,” will be co-moderated by
Marc Miller and Craig Ellsworth. Marc Miller is Director of Brand Marketing for MRP
Motorsport; North American Importer for
Birel racing karts and American Distributor
for Rotax Engines. Miller is also cofounder of
the Mazda Owners Club of America. Miller
is also the reigning U.S. Rotax Max Masters
Champion and thus brings a well-rounded
background from which he will guide the
panel discussion. Craig Ellsworth is a 30
year veteran of motorsports sponsorship
marketing and a consultant to Kart Expo.
Miller said, “I think the timing is right
for a gathering of influential people from
inside and outside the kart racing industry.
This will be particularly significant because
input from leading executives could bring
new viewpoints on kart racing that might
otherwise be overlooked, especially during
this dynamic economic environment.”
Wide range of topics will be explored
The Roundtable comes at a time of high
economic stress for the karting industry in
North America as well as abroad. The objective in having business leaders from outside
of kart racingis to gain unbiased insight
which will benefit manufacturers; distributors; dealers and; track operators and teams.
Sitarz said, “By combining kart industry
leaders with outside business leaders we are
expecting to get some unvarnished opinions
on our industry. We can’t afford, at this time,
to rely on our own entrenched attitudes on
kart racing.”
There will two sessions. The morning session will address The Public’s Perceptions
of Kart Racing, an examination of how the
sport can transcend it’s image as a kid’s only
activity. This session will also address how
kart racing may better enlist the sponsorship
support of outside industries.
The afternoon session will be devoted
to The Current Kart Racing Infrastructure,
addressing issues from within the industry
such as successful sales and marketing techniques, motivational skills and, with input
from outside the industry, how to think outside the box.
