KARTING: Daniel Di Leo takes over head management position at Goodwood Kartways

TORONTO, ON – Aspiring race car star Daniel Di Leo has taken over the head management position at Goodwood Kartways.

Located near Stouffville, ON, Di Leo hopes to give back to the karting community and provide solid groundwork for Ontario’s karters. One of Canada’s brightest stars is 100% committed to the task at hand but will also try to continue following his dream to be a motorsports star.

Di Leo will bring renewed energy back to Goodwood Kartways and stresses the management changes will be a positive one. A multi-year agreement with First Kart North America has already been put in place for Goodwood Kartways to carry the First Kart product line and promote it through participation in the Toronto Kart Club (TKC) and Sunoco Ron Fellows Karting Championship (SRFKC).

“It has been a challenging few months,” explained Di Leo in a recent phone interview. “Getting all the deals put in place and working on expansion plans has taken up a lot of time. I am pleased with how things are beginning to unfold, and I am really excited about the future of Goodwood Kartways, and the future of karting in Ontario.

Di Leo will also be putting in place a kart shop program that will be tailored to Goodwood’s customers. Experienced driver coaching and set-up advice will allow Di Leo to provide today’s karter’s with more information then what was available when he was coming up through the ranks. TKC and SRFKC race support will also be available through Goodwood Kartways and First Kart North America.

Discussions are currently under way for expansion at the Goodwood facility. An extension to the current circuit is in the works as well as a second track for strictly rentals that would provide the Ontario racers with more ‘on track time’. A larger kart shop and year round service center is also in the plans.

Goodwood Kartways is currently under going renovations. Track memberships and karting products are available for purchase as well as new and used karting equipment.

Stay tuned for exciting news about Goodwood Kartways and Di Leo’s 2005 racing plans, as many promising deals are in the works and should be finalized shortly.
