Las Vegas - Supernationals 2008

Hello,

I just came back from Las Vegas, 2008 Supernationals. I have to say that it was a very good event, mostly due to the fcat that it was again at the RIO. A lot of people, competitors and a lot of karting action. Many manufacturers present with their drivers, and essentially at the top level a dispaly of professional effort, from equipment to presentation and image. I do not have much time now to write a long article ( I will in the next days), but here some images:

ItalKart - great new model for 2009

I had a recent conversation with Michael Valiante of Italian Motors (Italkart) and he mentioned to me that they had a new graphic design for their karts. I received by email recently some impressive images that I like to present to you.

The elegant, aggressive and technical look that the KG EVO and their graphic design and colors displays is a favourite. No questions, I would be attracted to such a product if I would be on the market for a new chassis. Additionally, the excellent reputation of Italian Motors and the Valiante family will be a sure motive for the purchase.

Well done to Italkart for their new designs.

Arrow Kart 2009

Arrow kart recently press released images and data about the new Arrow models for 2009. I just got the image they published and I put it out here. The kart is now
offered with the new KG EVO bodywork style, and it looks great.

So Arrow karters, welcome to KG !

A little late but here it is

Sorry for this delay, but never got to write this quick report. End of july I've been in Santa Maria for the Sprint Grand Nationals of IKF. It has been a new experience. The event was pretty good, considering the difficult economy time of USA (that we hope will recover soon)and entries as good as possible.




I drove ( a kart) at the track in february and actually liked the track, so seeing a vast numbers of young drivers racing there it was good fun.

Few months prior to the event I worked with RLV to supply one of the most promising young drivers with our products and so I had finally a chance to meet her in person and also meet with her team personnel. People that I found out I knew from years ago when we used to go out racing at the Stars of Karting events with Tim Maddux, Reed Stevens and others.





Raquel Martinez and her team engineer/mechanics are VERY NICE PEOPLE. And also very good at what they are doing ! Raquel was always very fast in her classes. Unfortunately I could not stay the whole event in Santa Maria, but what I saw was very good. I took some images and here they are. The kart look really good and so the team uniforms. Well done to the Martinez team, RLV and everybody associated to the project. I take some pride myself as we supplied the KG bodywork for them.

More news soon. Best - Manuel

RADIATORS WINS AND SUCCESS

I'm very glad to say that our radiators are doing very well and that they do deliver in performance and quality what we expect and more. With the summer heats and the necessity to have optimum cooling for kart engines, we have been able to satisfy such demands where others may have a limit. We know that at the top level of racing and performance racers do need a product that will give them eveything possible to be had. So with our pentagonal and its ability to lower engine temperatures teams and drivers feel a bit more confortable and they do get that performance that otherwise get lost with overheating (and the danger of it).

So, here to remind you what we have:

Pentagonal radiator 450 x 300-200 x 40 mm

Special plus radiator 450 x 243 x 40 mm

Standard radiator 450 x 190 x 40 mm

Small radiator 450 x 125 x 40 mm (Rotax size)

Special plus, standard and small are available with shade system to allow partialization of radiator area. And it can be adjusted as you go...

Moving along with the new EVO

Just couple new images of manufacturers and teams using the EVO.
