EKN Roundtable: EP2 – September 1, 2026

The eKartingNews Roundtable is a chance for a group of members from the karting community to discuss a topic with feedback from show viewers during the live podcast. Rob Howden and David Cole moderate the gathering panel of karting industry members. The EKN Roundtable returns! After nearly two years away, the discussion-based show has found a new topic as we are near the end of the 2026 season – The Future of Masters Racing. The recent decline in numbers across the country at different levels of the sport, in addition to the near loss of Master Shifter at the SKUSA SuperNationals, is the center of the discussion, bringing together current Masters racers. Those joining the panel include Michael Dittmer, Matt Machiko, Paul Montopoli, and Mike Smith.
