MIKE MAURINI – Director of Marketing /
Co-Raceteam Manager

Coming from a wide array of racing experience, Mike Maurini has brought another piece to the growing First Kart puzzle. As a graduate of the Business Administrative Marketing program at the Durham College - University of Ontario and with over 17 years of karting expertise, Maurini is helping out in all aspects of First Kart. As a former driver himself, Maurini raced at the national level, securing the SuperKarts USA (SKUSA) National #8 in the S2 division and several regional victories and championships throughout the years.

After retiring from driving duties to complete his school, Maurini then took a year long position as Director of Advertising for Shifter Kart Illustrated. Upon receiving his diploma in Business, Maurini sold advertising space, organized trade show appearances and provided marketing duties for one of the industries leading racing magazines, before being lured back to the First Kart squad in June of 2004. Taking the reigns and heading up the marketing department, Maurini was looking to help strengthen the First Kart operation and the FirstKart.com race team.

Since rejoining First Kart North America, Maurini has put together a business plan to help boost company sales, increase profit and expand the FirstKart.com race team. In late 2004, the multi-talented Maurini advanced to the Director of Marketing position and took on the duties of Race Team Manager. As well as overseeing all the company's marketing, website and print advertisement, Maurini has controlled the day-to-day duties of the race team. Looking for more responsibility and respect within the racing community, Maurini also manages a team of mechanics in tuning operations at the national level events and ensures the success of victory. Always working out the logistics, the well respected industry member continues to manage all the team's travel throughout North America.
