 Russell Karting Specialties has a long history of supporting events and series across the country with sponsorship, certificates and more. The support continues as the notable company has announced a contingency program for the upcoming Superkarts! USA SuperNationals.
The biggest event of the season takes place on November 16-20 as Superkarts! USA hosts the 15th edition of the SuperNationals outside the Rio All-Suite Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas. The event serves as the final stop of the organizations Pro Tour series, coupled with an influx of international competition making the journey from all over the world. To lift up the competition stakes, Russell Karting and IAME kart engines have set up a contingency purse in four categories. To qualify, a driver must utilize an IAME Parilla engine and finish in the top-three of their respective class. The cash prize breakdown is as follows:
TaG Senior:1st place - $2500, 2nd place - $1000, 3rd place - $500
TaG Master:1st place - $2500, 2nd place - $1000, 3rd place - $500
KF2:1st place - $1000, 2nd place - $500, 3rd place - $250
KZ2:1st place - $1000, 2nd place - $500, 3rd place - $250
“Superkarts! USA and IAME have been working together since the introduction of the Touch and Go engines and it’s been a successful partnership,” continued Russell. “In the categories where drivers have multiple options for an engine, we want to reward those who perform well with IAME power. While it would be a lot of money to hand out, we would love to see and are counting on IAME engines to sweep the top-three positions in all four categories.”

You couldn’t ask for much more when it comes to the excitement that is building for the 15th edition of the Superkarts! USA SuperNationals. Despite the fact that the race is still over three months away, three classes have already hit their current maximum entry of 40 drivers and more are closing in on this pre-determined target each day. Only a limited number of classes can be extended to more than one race group, due to time constraints in the weekend schedule, and those opportunities are being used up quickly. It is certainly encouraging for the future of SKUSA that it is the youngest drivers who are filling the current rosters, as both TaG Cadet and TaG Junior have both maxed out, each also building up their waiting lists, which signals the potential of expanding the grid to 80 competitors in each class. TaG Master has also topped the 40-mark for Vegas, continuing the momentum that SKUSA has created with the class on the Pro Tour, which enjoyed greatly increased fields at both the SpringNationals and the SummerNationals in 2011.
“We’re extremely excited by the influx of entries that we’ve been processing over the past month, and it’s certainly an interesting indication of where we are seeing growth in both our SuperNationals program and SKUSA as a whole,” comments Tom Kutscher, Superkarts! USA CEO. “We’re thrilled in knowing that TaG Cadet will very likely hit the 80-driver mark, and the full grid of TaG Juniors will be great as well. The fact that we’ve already sold out TaG Master is also a huge deal for us. I can’t wait to see how the Master field lines up for next year’s Pro Tour as well, as I hope we’ll be getting everyone out to play in 2012. We’re having a great time with the class this year!”
