ROK Cup USA and Superkarts! USA will open up the season with two back-to-back events at the Orlando Kart Center in January and February
ROK Cup USA and Superkarts! USA entered a working relationship at the beginning of the 2024 season. The two karting organizations scheduled and hosted back-to-back events in January and February in Homestead and followed up with back-to-back weekends in Orlando for March. The association will continue this synergy for the 2025 season with the first three months of the year featuring back-to-back events.
The first month of 2025 will features the openers of both the Superkarts! USA Winter Series and the ROK Cup USA Florida Winter Tour at the Orlando Kart Center in Orlando, Florida. Both programs return to the Orlando, Florida facility in February for their second stops.
“We are excited to continue this partnership with SKUSA heading into the 2025 season,” stated Michael Burrell of ROK Cup USA. “Our 2024 Florida Winter Tour welcomed an increase in entries over the three events from year’s past. The response from the competitors and teams was positive, receiving feedback from them saving over 30% in costs versus the previous year. We felt it was crucial to continue working together with SKUSA moving forward. It is a great example of what can happen when promoters work together for the common good of karting. Thank you to the staff at SKUSA for their continued cooperation.”
The 2025 relationship will expand outside the state of Florida. The series finale for the ROK Cup USA Florida Winter Tour will be held at Speedsportz Racing Park in New Caney, Texas in late March. The following weekend, Superkarts! USA will kick-off the 2025 edition of the SKUSA Pro Tour WinterNationals at the Speedsportz facility for the first time in series history.
