California ProKart Challenge

Makita Powers Up the ProKart Challenge
Thursday, 24 April 2008 08:12
Makita Industrial Power Tools (www.makita.com) has teamed up with FX Racing to support the Superkarts! USA ProKart Challenge. Makita will be supporting six events with power tool combo kits to race winners in selected classes, which will include the newest 18V Compact Lithium-Ion Cordless Drill and Impact Driver.

Makita USA, Inc. is a leading manufacturer of over 450 professional, industrial quality power tools and has over 5,000 industrial accessories. Makita USA, Inc.’s home office is located in La Mirada, California and operates an extensive distribution network located throughout the U.S.

“This is a great step for Makita to support SKUSA and the PKC series,” stated FX Racing’s Frank Bain. “Makita’s products are by far the best on the market and kart racers have a thirst for great products. The 18 volt Lithium-Ion Drill and Impact Driver should be a staple in every driver’s tool box.”

Makita’s commitment to racing and action sports is not new. Makita supports Team Suzuki competing in the AMA Supercross/Motorcross series. Makita recently became the Official Tool Sponsor of the Championship Off Road Racing (CORR) Series, and is also a sponsor of off-road race teams in CORR and SCORE.

“Makita and FX Racing share a commitment to quality and performance,” said Brent Withey, brand manager at Makita. “We are excited to be partners with the FX Racing Team in this high-energy, high-action sport.”

Makita 18V Compact Lithium-Ion Combo Kits (model LCT200W) will be awarded to selected race winners at the following six stops on the 2008 SKUSA ProKart Challenge.
