The Colorado Karting Ambassador program will be implemented shortly.
In brief: The Colorado Karter believes that it is a fundamental duty of members of the karting community within Colorado to actively encourage and engage with the general public about the sport of karting.
In line with this belief, The Colorado Karter will seek out several representatives across the state of Colorado that represent the sport well, and exemplify the qualities we believe karting can instill within us all.

Detailed Bio | Initially, Eric’s career evolved as a driver, racing in the Junior 1 and Junior 2 categories before progressing to additional forms of motorsport. Eventually, academic interests lead Eric to attend the University of Colorado, where he earned a Bachelor’s in Geological Sciences and accreditations in Business and Technology and Media Arts.
A passion for motorsport never waned, however, and concurrent involvement as a volunteer with The Colorado Karting Tour has seen him serve in a variety of commitments including media and marketing management, team organization and officiating, and administrative organization. Concurrently, Eric formed Apex Predator Driver Development, which has assisted drivers of all ages in karts and racing cars in their development as drivers.

From equipment purchasing, to high-level and technical questions, Eric welcomes all inquiries, and will commit the time to sit down and meet with potential kart racers, as he recognizes the challenges this new sport can present to many interested in becoming involved.
