Any alteration to the factory intended operation of the reed cage system may be deemed non-compliant. The original statement of the reed screws being a non-tech item was intended to mean the type (straight, Phillips, Allen or Torx, etc) of screw, not to mean an alteration to the size or design could be made. Further, the sizing of the holes in the reed petal hold down plate may be compared to a known stock part to determine legality.

A thrilling last lap in Pro Shifter provided Justin White (Maranello USA) the opportunity to celebrate a first career victory while former SKUSA Pro Tour and Winter Series champion Joe Turney (JHDD / Kart Republic) escaped the battling once again for a third straight main event win.

The 2025 Superkarts! USA Pro Tour SpringNationals ended on Sunday at the Motorsports Country Club of Cincinnati. It was another dry day of racing at the Batavia, Ohio facility, with sunny skies turning into overcast conditions and cooler temperatures all weekend compared to the 2024 version of the event. The MCC crew went all out, bringing in a fly over and live national anthem to celebrate the Memorial Day weekend prior to the eight main events on the day. USA drivers claimed five of the eight wins on the day with Canadian Josh Conquer (Maranello USA) becoming the first from north of the border to claim victory in the Pro Shifter category.
The PSL Karting Pro Shifter held its Prefinal and Final on the day, led by AJ Myers (Magik Kart USA) and Corentin Rousseau (Catalyst / Italkart) to begin the 14-lap Prefinal. Myers led the opening few laps before Rousseau took control, earning the win and the pole position for the Final. Jay Urwin (PSL / Birelart) and Josh Conquer (Maranello USA) fought for third, and earned the row two starting spots as Billy Musgrave (Factory Karts) and Michael Avansino (RWR / CRG) made up row three after finishing fifth and sixth. Rousseau grabbed the holeshot to begin the 25-lap main event as Myers and Conquer fought for the second spot. By lap seven, Conquer had earned the spot and Myers unfortunately began to trickle down the order, missing the setup on the day. Rousseau had a roughly two-second gap by the halfway point, however, Conquer continued chipping at it. By lap 21, he was close enough to get the draft and look for ways by. It was on lap 22 that Conquer made the bold pass attempt into the downhill section, getting the apex first, and powering away with the position. Rousseau had to check up, lost ground and went on the defensive with Urwin right there. The move for Conquer gave him enough real estate to cruise to victory, claiming his first career SKUSA Pro Tour triumph. Rousseau held on for second at the line, however, did not pass tech inspection with the engine. That promoted Urwin to runner-up and Kyle Wick (GFC Karting) – who started seventh – onto the podium in third. Frenchman Adrien Renaudin (Velocity / Sodi Kart) won the battle for what was not fourth over defending champion Matheus Morgatto (PSL / Birelart), Myers, Jacob Gulick (GFC Karting) and Musgrave all within one second at the line.
