Wheaton, Illinois USA - Race kart and rental kart giant SodiKart has
just signed a two year agreement to be named the title sponsor of
Kart Expo™. The 14th annual international karting trade show, now
called “Sodi Kart Expo International”, will be held at Pheasant Run
Resort and Convention Center in St Charles, IL February 25th and
26th, 2006.“We are extremely excited and pleased that SodiKart has
become the title sponsor of Kart Expo,” said Darrell Sitarz, show
director. “Having a company like Sodi onboard also serves to
reinforce the shows’ stature as a worldwide showcase for the sport. |

This will be further enhanced when the event moves to a new venue in
2007 - the brand new 100,000 square foot Schaumburg Renaissance
Hotel & Convention Center (www.meet-schaumburg.com)
in suburban Chicago, currently under construction.”
The SodiKart competition racing brand enjoys recognition within
the European competition racing industry as being one of the most
successful karts on the race track today achieving several European
and World championships the last few years.
“Although very successful in competition racing in Europe, the
SodiKart brand is still relatively unknown in the North American
racing industry,” said Peter Bekkers, president of SodiKart North
America. “By becoming the title sponsor of Kart Expo International,
we will achieve instant name recognition and send, we hope, a signal
to top level competition race kart dealers and teams that we are
ready to take the next step in achieving the same top level
reputation as we enjoy in Europe.”

“Peter Bekkers’ other endeavor, FKP, a one stop shopping indoor
track development company, and SodiKart have been exhibiting at Kart
Expo since 1997 and was one of the first to introduce European-style
rental karts into the US,” said Sitarz. “They have been one of the
most loyal supporters of Kart Expo, dating back more than a dozen
years helping the event to grow into the largest and most wide
recognized competition and rental kart show in North America.” See
