One of the odds-on favourites to take the upcoming Canadian Karting News CKN 200 presented by GrandPrix Kartways is the Compass Racing team. The squad boasts an impressive lineup of drivers: Daytona Koni Challenge pole sitter Travis Walker, Daytona Koni Challenge ST class winner Karl Thomson, and the newest recruit, former GrandNational Karting Champion Matt Pritiko.

Two of Compass360 Racing's KONI Challenge Acuras are on display at the Canadian International Auto Show. The team cars are the feature exhibit in the "Street Tuner" exhibit at the Rogers Centre, and includes the Daytona-winning #76 TSX and the pole-sitting #75 car. As part of the exhibit, the display cars will include weekend visits from the Kensai Tuner Girls.

Ocala, FL – Despite the fact it was a cloudy, cool, bleak Tuesday in late January, there was a constant stream of customers and prospects dropping into the beautiful new showroom at Jenkins Acura in Ocala to see Compass360's Acura TSX and RSX-S race cars. 

Pierce Fleming, Acura Sales Manager at Jenkins stated, "Our objective was for our customers to see how little difference there really is between a Grand-Am KONI Challenge Acura race car and the car they can buy direct from our showroom floor. Having the cars on show sure made this point clear!"
