| EKN Awards Nominees Announced |
| |
Following two weeks of nominations, karting’s leading website eKartingNews.com is proud to announce the 2007 EKN Awards nominations. The EKN Awards kicked off its nomination process on January 23 as EKN readers were asked to submit their nominees for each of the six categories, either on the site’s official forum thread or anonymously through private email to EKN World Headquarters. After collecting all the nomination lists, five nominees for each award have been chosen.
The winners of this year’s EKN Awards will be announced during the EKN Awards Week, set for February 18-23, leading up to the Sodi Kart Expo International which is set to take place on February 23-24. Each day, one of the six categories will be highlighted, featuring a bio of the award winner that will include their 2007 stats.
The following distinguished members of the North American karting community are this year’s EKN Awards nominees. The staff here at the website would like to congratulate this year’s nominees.
