NEW Images and products

Hello there,

Hopefully everything is going well there and the season is rolling along and good things are happening.

I had a lot of work done recently, new projects, new products, and with it a lot of "headaches" with the state of affairs of the US economy as well as the world wide economy. Part of the problem I had, has been with logistics. It took a LONG time to get our shipments from Italy over here, and right now we are on the final stages of the trasport. So, hopefully next week we will be able to have everything available in regards to the new style of bodywork.

But the best answer to any trouble is to work harder and overcome the moment. So, that is exactly what I concentrated on and it worked.

Then, on the racing and commercial front, step by step we are getting more and more manufacturers and teams working with us and I'm quite certain that we will do really well with the new stuff. I got some new images with the EVO 11 bodywork. See here:









The Kart Mini does not have yet the new pods, but they will have them soon. Our fault, as mentioned above on the freight logistic.. Sorry Kart Mini.
We are expecting a quick grow of popularity on the EVO 11. The line and design are the latest advances done on the area, and as usual we are working toward the future to make it easier and better. Part of the good news of the EVO 11 is the nerf bar system, now giving an additional tuning possibility.

This is it for now. Will get back to the blog soon !

A Brand New Product - Go KG !

Well, sometime went by from the time I could sit down and write something up on my blog. Last month went to Chicago for the KART EXPO, and despite the rumours were not that favourable, yet the show went very well for us.

We presented a variety of new products, most importantly the new EVO bodywork line with couple of different options and design. It has been received very well from manufacturers, importers, dealers and most importantly from the racers and the general public. So it was satisfying to have that open acceptance of the product. You can see here couple of pictures.





We displayed 3 different chassis (Sodi, Margay and First Kart, all of them with the new EVO 11. Also, we had 2 new radiators presented. One, which official name is "Max" I decided to nickname it "The Monster", due to its dimensions. It is a great radiator that will even increase the perfomrmance of the current Pentagonal. Yet, the Pentagonal will stay for now the mainstay of the line, till the time "The Monster" will be produced and stocked, and till the time it will have proven itself.

We re-presented the "Cobra" airbox, after a full season of good results and championships, and the demand for this product is increasing every week. It is a rather simple piece, however it has been well designed and well manufactured, it is quite readily available and I made my priority to have it all the time and to make sure it can be distributed properly.



We also presented our new 08 catalog, freshly printed with most of the new products. I say most, because by the time we had the catalog by the printer we were already at work to create some new items that will be useful for the karting industry and its final user. I guess we will add those items to the catalog with an isert as soon as they will be finalized and produced.



As for everything else, as always, will strive to offer the best available and to make it easily available. This year we have in front many new challenges, most of them of economic nature, but we have been working diligently to overcome any and all obstacles even if outside our direct control line.

After all - life, business ad everything else is a game, so we need to keep playing at the best.

Son long for now and I will update you soon !

Hello there. Daytona was back this year and it was a success. I'm very happy of the return of this classic as it does start the karting season and give it a pace. It is also the first real event where you can have a glimpse at new things, products, people and teams.

IL MAESTRO

Here a quick video of " Il Maestro" in action.

The beginning of this blog

All right. Just created and launched this blog. Time to get some actual facts and news to the karting world and community. Will get going with updates, new product informations, technical informations and possibly giving some positive advice to people that love karting or that are going to get into the sport.

Just as an intro. I do work in the industry. I take care of the marketing for several manufacturers and manage specifally KG Karting in North America. Beside the fact that I believe on an industry that should be (and in the major part is) honest, I like karting and motorsport. I grew up with it.

Well, this is just the beginning. Hope to see you soon here.

Best, Manuel DL
