Newly developed Top Kart USA Authorized Dealer and Service Center, AMK Race Products is making a statement this season at their home track of Stockholm Karting Center in Cokato, MN. AMK Race Products is owned and operated by Christopher and Alexander Kardashian, who are veterans to not only the sport of karting but also the Top Kart brand as well. Closely working with Top Kart USA over the past three years, AMK has the knowledge base and experience of assisting racers to the top step of the podium.

Michael Mandery, racing out of Cokato, MN at Stockholm Karting Center, claimed his first victory of the season on the debut weekend of running the new Twister Top Kart in the ultra-competitive World Formula Open Class.

Said Michael Mandery after winning Sunday’s event, “The Twister chassis just turns where you point it.  It is so stable and so much faster than my old kart.  I love it!  And my dad is pretty happy too.”

“We have been very happy working with Chris and Alexander with AMK Racing. They switched over everything to the new kart and it was fast right away. Even though we compete on the track, I do not get the feeling they hold anything back in terms of tips, set up advice, or strategy,” explained Michael’s father, Craig. “That is very rare in karting. I could not be more pleased than to have Michael on the Top Kart working with them.”

Connor Fasching of Cokato, MN swept the World Formula Junior class in his debut on a Top Kart chassis with wins on Saturday and Sunday.

“I love my Top Kart. I had wanted a Top Kart for a long time.  My dad surprised me this past weekend with a new Twister chassis.  I was a second a lap faster in my Top Kart within the first five laps and got faster every session over the weekend as I got used to the kart and the brakes,” added Connor. “I am so excited to finish up the season on my new Top Kart and to be in a position to battle for the championship.”

Alexander Kardashian noted, “We are so happy for Michael and Connor. They are both great drivers, past NRKA Champions, and great friends and competitors.  It is never an easy decision to switch brands mid-year or later, but I think in both cases, with immediate wins by both drivers, they, along with their parents, are very happy they made the decision and are very much looking forward to finishing the 2015 season and starting the 2016 season on Top Karts.  And we at AMK Race Products are looking forward to the future as well and thank all of our clients in 2015 for helping us launch AMK Race Products, where we exclusively represent the Top Kart Brand.”

Blake Deister of Top Kart USA explained, ” We are excited about the amazing performance of the new racers that have come aboard to the Top Kart brand and family. Through our spectacular dealer network and support system, we are able to better offer our assistance and knowledge of the Top Kart product through our well-trained and experienced partners of AMK Race Products. Looking forward to continue the growth and development of our network throughout the rest of the United States, AMK will be focusing their efforts at the local and regional level in 2016 servicing and supporting the racers at those events.”
