I have been searching the web for karting ONLY related tradeshows and conference’s, does anyone have recommendations on the best one to attend or any information at would be appreciated, thanks.
The OVKA Trade Show and Swap Meet is usually the first weekend in February every year in Wilmington, OH and has been going for 40 years.

I have been searching all over the web, it’s pretty shocking non-existence of trade shows as it relates to karting.
There used to be a popular kart expo held annually, if I recall, in Schaumburg, Illinois; or somewhere in the Chicagoland area.
Then one year, several of the big kart importers/retailers here decided they’d be better off hitching on to the much broader scope Performance Racing Industry tradeshow, instead of the smaller but karting-specific kart expo, and eventually the Illinois-based kart show faded away.
That’s too bad, what a shame it did not last.
Are there Kart people (aside from circle track karting) at PRI? Ive honestly never bothered to look, and if there are, it would give me a great reason to go back there.
