| EKN 2011 Chassis Preview Editorial Series: Arrow |
| |
The EKN 2011 Chassis Preview Editorial Series was designed during this off-season to provide the karting community with a unique opportunity to become informed of the most popular and successful brands available in the North American market, all from the warmth of their home computers or mobile devices. The karting industry is by no means short on options regarding chassis selection, and our goal with this article series is to help narrow down your choices while educating the community on what exactly is offered by each manufacturer and its United States or Canadian importer/distributor.
To view the complete 2011 Guide as it develops, visit the EKN Chassis Showroom.
The Australian-manufactured Arrow chassis has become one of the more popular and successful brands in North America in recent years. Arrow is the reigning EKN Constructors’ Championship champ and was the chassis of the EKN Awards Team of the Year selection (BTK Motorsport/KartSport North America). The brand has garnered victories and championships in the TaG categories, especially Rotax, and 100cc Senior and Junior competition. Currently, the top two drivers in the EKN Driver Rankings compete aboard an Arrow (Sam Beasley and David Sera). Under the guidance of KartSport North America with an ever-growing dealer list and racers moving over to the Arrow brand, there is no end in site to the accomplishments that will be earned in the future.
