The fourth annual Alabama Karting Super Show is set for January 13 and 14, 2012. The first three trade shows were an outstanding success with all go kart vendor spots selling out. This year there will be even more excitement. For 2012, the trade show will be expanded to a Super Show. The Super Show will be in a new venue with a 40,000 square foot show room. This new venue also includes a state of the art 2500 seat stadium style arena and over ten acres of parking. The new venue is located in Andalusia, Alabama, at the Covington Center Arena & Kiwanis Center.

The trade shows have been expanded to a two day event, and a national indoor go kart racing event has been added. The go kart race will feature twelve classes and guaranteed payouts. There will be swap meet booths inside and an indoor playground for the kids.

The promoters of this event will be giving away a 2012 Firehawk Racing Chassis to one lucky raffle winner. Firehawk Racing Chassis will also provide a display featuring a new go kart for fans and kids to sit in to have their pictures made.

So make your plans to attend the Fourth Annual Alabama Karting Super Show. It will be a great experience for the whole family.
