California ProKart Challenge

ProKart Challenge NorCal Readies for 2009 Debut
Tuesday, 10 March 2009 08:14
The Northern California region is in a growing state within the karting community, thanks in-part to the introduction of the ProKart Challenge North series in 2008. A successful first year has garnered the respect of many competitors and teams within the area, which is helping to build up the excitement for this weekend’s opening round of the 2009 season. With the heavy rains the area has been experiencing over the past few weeks, the arrival of the PKC program will look to bring in sunny skies and great racing weather to start the year off right.

Seven events over the next seven months are on the PKC schedule for the sophomore season, with the Infineon Raceway’s Jim Russell International Karting Center the focal point of the series. Six events will be held at the Sonoma, California facility – including this weekend’s opening round – with a NorCal vs. SoCal shootout scheduled for May 16 at the Buttonwillow Raceway kart track. PKC will be varying the track configurations at Infineon throughout the season. The first round will run in the National Track layout in the normal (clockwise) direction. Read Full Story on EKN.

Neal Scores Two Wins at Willow Springs
Wednesday, 04 March 2009 09:42
The second round of the Superkarts! USA ProKart Challenge South series went into the books this past weekend following the action at the Willow Springs Raceway kart track, a popular destination in the California karting scene. Roughly 60 drivers – a number of talented drivers with positive attitudes – made the journey to the 6/10-mile Rosamond circuit in perfect weather conditions for racing, which resulted in no major incidents all weekend. The second event of the 2009 schedule was also void of any repeat wins, as no one driver was able to back up their victories from the first round at the CalSpeed track. Jacob Neal was the only first double winner during the weekend, besting his competition in both the S1 and S3 main events.

Neal made it look easy in the S1 category, as he swept the day’s on-track sessions. With a full year in the ICC division now under his belt, Neal put his experience on display as he led all of the green flag laps in both heat races and the feature. In contrast to what happened at the CalSpeed round, where an injury put Neal on the sidelines for the S1 feature after he showed the way earlier in the day, this outing was picture-perfect. Peter Abba took advantage of Neal’s troubles last month to win the feature, but he ran second to the CRG pilot at Willow by beating out Gregory Liefooghe for the runner-up position.  Read Full Story on EKN.

Important Announcement for TaG Junior Competitors
Monday, 23 February 2009 20:47
SKUSA has been concerned for some time about the performance level of the Leopard Junior.  Results from recent races where Leopard Juniors and KF3 classes were run at the same time indicate that the Leopard with 30mm restricted header had performance equal to or perhaps better than the KF3 class. For those of you not familiar with KF3, it is the International Junior class that replaced JICA.
 
SKUSA feels that this performance level is not appropriate for the majority of Junior competitors who might be transitioning from slower classes such as Yamaha Junior Superbox or HPV Junior.
 
With this in mind, we are implementing the use of the 25mm Factory header instead of the 30mm header.  Note that we have done – in conjunction with other groups – considerable testing of a number of combinations (including headers and carburetors), and feel that this is the most cost-effective solution at this time. We do reserve the right to implement additional changes should this change not result in the desired slowing of the class.
 
Both importers have indicated they have sufficient stocks of the 25mm header to supply dealers and competitors.
 
Feel free to contact me with your comments.
