Hello Everybody!!!

We are excited to formally announce the 2nd Annual Chase'n Race'n Illustrated KARTMANIA presented by Rodney Byers. We are equally excited that this year we will be hosting our event in the beautiful Hickory Metro Center in Hickory, NC. The show will be held on January 24-25, 2014.
In case you missed it last year, Kartmania is intended to be "the" trade show to bring back "sparkle and shine" to the karting industry, and "Restore Pride in Karting". Our location this year is a familiar one, the Hickory Metro Center in the past has been the home of the largest, most glamorous karting trade shows in history. Located literally on I-40, the center is easily accessible, and the surrounding area is very welcoming with an abundance of shopping, dining, and entertainment opportunities.
Whether you're a local, regional, or national level karting enthusiast, this show is for you! It is our intent to provide the ultimate karting show experience for racers and exhibitors.
Once again, Kartmania offers the most professional business atmosphere for exhibitors, and the move to Hickory NC brings our show closer to "race central USA".
With FREE Admission to all Chase'n Race'n Illustrated subscribers, and several major Championship Banquets on the schedule, general attendance numbers will be very high.

And new this Year!! It's a HOT TOPIC every time it comes up, so let's jump in the middle of it!!!
Attention all the great helmet painting artists in the karting world, let's see what you have!! No better way than a lil competition (and you've got plenty of time to prepare!)

You having any technical sessions?

suggestions ...
* engines
- tech inspection certification
- other general engine session
* tire prepping
-- maybe hosted by a tire prep vendor giving an overview of their products and when to use what with time for Q&A
* chassis setup
-- maybe hosted by a chassis vendor
-- give short overview of their chassis
-- general recommendations to their karts for tightening or loosening, etc ...
-- time for Q&A
 
As for seminars on the agenda for Kartmania...
Track Owners Seminar - w/ NKA's Joe Janowski and Mackie Flood
Engine Tech - w/ Boyd Maloney
Chassis Tech - w/ TBA
Tire Tech - w/ TBA

We don't want to "over do it" with seminars, and distract from the show. It will be nearly impossible to have these seminars at a time that won't conflict with PRC's Open House, but we're mindful of the timelines and will do everything we can to make it convenient to make both shows.

Championship Banquets;
Mid-Atlantic Series, Tri-State Series, Southeastern Maxxis Series, and Maxxis GA State Series will all join forces for a "Mega Banquet" on Friday night. More details coming soon.

UAS 2013 Awards will be presented on show floor on Saturday - Mark Bergfelt will supply more details soon.

Maxxis National Championships Banquet - by invitation only - Saturday evening

Thanks to everyone for your support to this point, and we look forward to presenting another great show in Hickory!
