KART EXPO PARTNERS WITH RADIO DISNEY® FOR '07 SHOW/ PROCLAIMS SUNDAY "KIDS DAY"
Kart Expo has announced that it has partnered with Radio Disney for the 2007 edition of its annual consumer karting show and has also announced that Sunday February 25th will be designated "Kids Day".
"Children and young adults are the future of our sport," said Darrell Sitarz, Expo Director, "and we need to start catering to that demographic. By partnering with Radio Disney, we're doing just that!"
And as part of the Sunday "Kids Day" program, Radio Disney will present an interactive "Party Patrol" stage show complete with games, prizes, music and fun for the whole family. The live show will begin at 1:00 PM. In addition to the Radio Disney show, kids and their parents can learn all about go-karting in a free "Kids and Karting" seminar presented by Kart Expo.
Chicago's Radio Disney AM1300 is a 24/7 music destination for kids and young adults. It's the home of cool music that kids are passionate about and families enjoy together. Radio Disney has more than 50 affiliates nationwide and is also available on XM and Sirius Satellite Radio.

Ok guys! It's getting close to the Kart Expo. Peter and I are trying to get a big group together to go to the Expo together. We're thinking about Saturday afternoon. Anyone interested?

MPIGP - Phillip Gordon

I am planning on being there Saturday.

Mark Hirt
02-17-2007, 11:44 AM
Is this like a gang thing?

Do we need to wear our hats funny or just wear our "colors"

Rick
02-17-2007, 03:05 PM
Yes. We should all wear our helmets and racing suits and refer to each other as Esses.

Rick
02-20-2007, 03:44 PM
It appears that Saturday afternoon is a good time. How is 1pm for everyone?

So far, I think the following people are going:

Peter
Rick
Martin
Joel
Mark?
Phil

Sounds good- see you there

Rick

FYI: Randy Chase, the owner of ChaseCam company (http://chasecam.com/), will have a booth at the Kart Expo.

I know a bunch of you guys are looking for a video camera type device to record your conquests at the track. You might want to check his booth out.

Do they have a bar?

Rick

I believe they have 2 full wet bars.

02-24-2007, 11:27 AM
So- I assume we will be sitting at the bar! :drinking:

What did you guys think of the show?

BTW Shaw's was a great idea Rick.

Mark Hirt

I was in rare form Saturday. First, I convinced myself that Shaw's was closed. Then, I do a "brilliant" job navigating to the kart expo from Shaw's. Finally, I cap it all off by stalling at a red light and getting beat off the line by TWO Suv's. :barf:
