Coming Soon
LIVE KART EXPO BROADCASTS
ARE A GO,
GO, GO!
The Auto Channel & Kart
Marketing Group Present Internet TV Coverage
of the World’s Largest Go Kart
Exposition
AUTO CENTRAL: November 14, 1999: NASCAR, Formula 1, Indycars, Sprint
& Midget car racing: all enormously popular forms and venues of motor sports
to be sure. But what’s the most popular motor sport activity in the
world? GO KARTING!
That’s right, racing go karts: The fantasy of every young man (and some young women)
for generations; the training ground for many of today’s top professional
drivers; and one of the few racing competitions that anyone can economically
participate in. However, go kart racing isn’t just for kids and beginners,
today's racing karts are highly sophisticated machines capable of reaching
speeds up to 150 MPH.
Now, for the first time, this incredibly exciting world will burst LIVE onto the
computer screens of Internet users around the globe when The
Auto Channel Internetwork broadcasts exclusive coverage of KART
EXPO ‘99, the largest gathering of Kart racing manufacturers, distributors,
dealers, consumers, and competitors under one roof. KART EXPO '99 takes
place on Saturday and Sunday, December 4th & 5th,
at the Northern Kentucky Convention Center in
Covington, Kentucky USA (Suburban Cincinnati
area).
The Auto Channel’s broadcasts will allow Internet
users and karting enthusiasts to see the best and the latest products and
services that the industry has to offer. In all, TACH will
present 9 live half-hour programs over the
two days that feature interviews with representatives from the top
manufacturers, kart racing celebrities, and association officials. The
exhibitor list includes Briggs & Stratton, Reb-co Racing, SuperKarts USA,
Margay Racing Products, American Honda Motorsports, Skip Barber Racing School,
and World Karting Association. The shows will then be archived for
continuous on-demand access.
Another live broadcast feature will be “Go Kart Trivia Challenge”, a variation
of TACH’s highly successful TV-style game show that pits
2 contestants against each other in an effort to win a bag-full of valuable
prizes. Contestants will be selected from the audience attending the
exposition. The game shows will also be broadcast live over the Internet
and archived for continuous access. Ten episodes are planned for the 2
days.
All broadcasts will be staged at The Auto Channel
studio exhibit, booth #135. A complete
list of show times and the interview schedule will be listed directly at http://www.theautochannel.com/cybercast/ktexpo99/index.html.
Live coverage of this event is presented in association with the exposition’s
producer, Kart Marketing Group, Inc., who is
also the leading publisher of go kart industry magazines and buyers'
guides. Additional information about Kart Marketing Group can be found at

comprehensive automotive information resource, covering 18 subject categories;
with more than 200,000 screen pages of information; 16 searchable databases and
