Marc Miller is director of brand Marketing for Mrp Motorsport; north american importer for birel racing karts and american distributor for rotax engines. Miller is also cofounder of the Mazda owners club of america. Miller is also the reigning u.s. rotax Max Masters champion and thus brings a well-rounded background from which he will guide the panel discussion. craig ellsworth is a 30 year veteran of motorsports sponsorship marketing and a consultant to Kart expo. Miller said, “i think the timing is right for a gathering of influential people from inside and outside the kart racing industry. this will be particularly significant because input from leading executives could bring new viewpoints on kart racing that might otherwise be overlooked, especially during this dynamic economic environment.” Wide range of topics will be explored the roundtable comes at a time of high economic stress for the karting industry in north america as well as abroad. the objective in having business leaders from outside of kart racingis to gain unbiased insight which will benefit manufacturers; distributors; dealers and; track operators and teams. sitarz said, “by combining kart industry leaders with outside business leaders we are expecting to get some unvarnished opinions on our industry. we can’t afford, at this time, to rely on our own entrenched attitudes on kart racing.” there will two sessions. the morning session will address the public’s perceptions of Kart racing, an examination of how the sport can transcend it’s image as a kid’s only activity. this session will also address how kart racing may better enlist the sponsorship support of outside industries. the afternoon session will be devoted to the current Kart racing infrastructure, addressing issues from within the industry such as successful sales and marketing techniques, motivational skills and, with input from outside the industry, how to think outside the box.
