On behalf of Rodney Byers, myself (Rowdy Jordan), and the entire CRI Kartmania staff, we would like to extend our most sincere gratitude to everyone who exhibited or visited our show this weekend in Dalton, GA. Being our first swing at a venture such as this, we were truly treading in strange waters with no clue of what to expect. We were fortunate to assemble a true "A" list of exhibitors in a super nice facility in a great location.  We had visitors from at least a dozen different states. Rodney and I spent nearly the entire weekend in conversation with exhibitors, and the feedback was very positive, with some excellent ideas on how to build upon what we've started.
            We believe even more today than ever before that we made the right decision to host our event in Dalton, GA, and look forward to the challenge of growing CRI Kartmania into the karting industry's best and most attended trade show.
            If you were an exhibitor at Kartmania, you will receive a survey within a couple of weeks, after you've had time to digest and reflect on your weekend. We ask that you take a few minutes to give us your most honest feedback. That feedback will certainly be instrumental in how we move forward.
            If you attended Kartmania in any capacity other than primary exhibitor, we ask that you give us your feedback via social media, or by visiting the show website at www.crikartmania.com, and filling out the short survey. Your input is also vital to our efforts.
            A special thank you to Patti Owens, Goldspeed USA, and Maxxis Tires for your support and your choice to host the awards banquet for the Maxxis National Championships at Kartmania. As usual, you folks do nothing "half-way". The banquet was an awesome finish to a great weekend, and we were honored to have it as part of our event. 
            Again, thank you to everyone that played a part in the 1st Annual CRI Kartmania presented by Rodney Byers.
