Championship Karting International (CKI), America’s premier national karting series, will be taking the sport to the next level in 2010 as part of an exciting new association with the European-based WSK Promotion.
The CKI braintrust will be bringing the emerging program to America next season, beginning a relationship that will be further strengthened heading into the future. In an unprecedented decision to take a hands-on role in helping to develop the sport through a global initiative, CKI’s leadership is continuing its forward-thinking support of US karting by elevating the national karting scene to a level never before witnessed on American soil. In 2010, the WSK North American Series will make its debut.
As part of this new partnership with the WSK, all of the events on the 2010 CKI schedule will be promoted and operated by Championship Karting International, sanctioned by the World Karting Association, under the WSK banner. The program will offer both international and domestic Categories in 2010, for the full schedule of Championship Events that will be announced in the near future.
« We anticipate the affiliation with WSK will allow for more international drivers to compete in America and more opportunities for our American drivers to expand their racing globally. » commented RJ Valentine, CKI co-founder.
And Luca De Donno, president of WSK Promotion, declared : « It is no accident that we decided on the cooperation with CKI to carry out WSK World Series plan, ready to come to the USA, in 2010. We consider CKI as the perfect partner to start a long-date collaboration, and to realize and share new ideas to promote the development of racing karting sport.”
