Superkarts! USA and Alpinestars Announce Strategic Partnership for 2019 |
Tuesday, 13 November 2018 23:47 |
Superkarts! USA today announced a new partnership with industry leading racewear brand Alpinestars, which will see the renowned name become the ‘official race gear of SKUSA.’ The move underscores a newfound commitment to the sport of karting by Alpinestars, in addition to their existing motorsports programs. SKUSA shares the excitement of the collaboration, and more importantly the benefits it will offer racers. The partnership will usher in a renewed focus from Alpinestars’ dealers to activate and service every SKUSA ProTour event with on-site support. Participants have been ill served by companies in the past, with no real means to purchase safety equipment at events. Local Alpinestars dealers will be on-hand at each ProTour race with ample Alpinestars product for sale. “Having a problem with your safety equipment at the race track is the worst possible place,” explained SKUSA principal Tom Kutscher. “Alpinestars is a name that’s second to none and their reputation for quality and commitment precedes them. I couldn’t be happier to have them as a series partner.” Alpinestars will also furnish the suits for the various SKUSA scholarship initiatives, including the Streets of Lancaster Grand Prix and Team USA IAME suits. “Quality and reliability in delivery have been two things sorely missing in the sport,” elaborated SKUSA’s Tom Kutscher. “Outfitting our scholarship drivers in the finest safety gear we can is something I am quite proud of.” -- Superkarts!
