 The 2013 SKUSA SuperNationals XVII continues to grow in numbers. The entry total for the event reached the 500 mark by the middle of September, and will now expand further with the opening of 40 more positions in the S2 Semi-Pro Stock Moto category. Already sold out at 40 drivers, the category will increase to welcome up to 80 drivers for the November 20-24 event outside the Rio All-Suite Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas.
The S2 class was among the first to fill up in the first 36 hours of registration for the event, and with a growing wait list, Superkarts! USA will now alter the weekend format to provide another time slot to expand the field. Two race groups for the S2 class will be utilized during the event, which will include a Last Chance Qualifier under the lights Saturday evening to decide the final few spots for the Super Sunday main event.
Drivers on the waiting list or those not yet signed up may now head to skusastore.com to submit their race entry today. A revised event schedule will be posted within the next few days.

In just over 60 days, it will be go-time at the Rio All-Suite Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas when over 500 of the best karters from around the world take part in the Superkarts! USA SuperNationals XVII. The November 20-24 event is shaping up to be another record-breaking year, as the entry total for the 2013 edition has already passed the 500 mark. The 11 categories slated for action boast solid driver rosters, including countless stars from the karting scene and from the upper echelon of the motorsports ranks as well. As the official media partner of Superkarts! USA, eKartingNews.com has enjoyed an early look at the entry list, and we’ll highlight a number of names who will compete at this year’s star-studded SuperNationals.
One of the most exciting classes in the last five years has been TaG Senior. Reaching the maximum amount of drivers year after year, the competition on track never disappoints. With the 80 slots already booked, another 20 drivers are on the waiting list, all looking to get into the greatest karting spectacle of the year. In surveying the entry list, most if not all of the top-50 pilots from eKartingNews.com TaG Driver Rankings are among those entered. One interesting note: as of now, there are no former winners registered in the class.

 Over the past three years, Superkarts! USA has been working diligently to develop new regional programs through the Western half of the United States. Regional series and club support ventures have been launched in Texas, Colorado and the Pacific Northwest with much success and the organization’s growing Pro Tour has been on a steady upward climb of support since its launch in 2010. While the organization’s annual SuperNationals has routinely draw from all over the U.S., laying roots east of the Mississippi has not been as fruitful despite the fact that SKUSA’s real history begins in the Great Lakes region of the country. A new direction has been implemented and it will come in the form of a single one-off national event to reset the brand in the region. On September 13-15, Superkarts! USA will button up the current Midwest ProKart Challenge series at the inaugural ‘Midwest Shifterfest’, which will be the debut of a new event that will offer up loads of track time as a SuperNationals tune-up, and prize money for Open Shifter and S2. In addition, SKUSA is supporting this weekend’s Rock Island Grand Prix, offering free Shifterfest entries for the winner of any of the three gearbox classes (King of the Streets, 125cc Open Shifter and 125cc Masters Shifter).

 The Texas ProKart Challenge – presented by 3G Kart Racing/Burger King®/Fernelius Alvarez Attorneys/Dallas Karting Complex – hosted round seven and eight on August 16-18 at the Oklahoma Motorsports Complex. Revered as one of the top circuits in the country, Superkarts! USA and United States Rotax Max Challenge competitors from the southern states took on the challenging 8/10-mile course as the ten-round championship series looks to close out the 2013 season.
The weekend welcomed perfect racing conditions, with cooler than normal temperatures through the tree days in Norman, Oklahoma. Friday evening provided a great meal, courtesy of Rey Ferreyro and his local Chick-fil-A. All podium finishers received Motul products, with top end rebuild kits for the Stock Moto categories courtesy of Honda Performance Development, and three sets of Mojo tires to three Rotax drivers. In total, over $2,500 in awards and prizes were handed out on the weekend, including free entries and free hotels to the season finale. Of course, the weekend went smooth thanks to the great hospitality provided by the Berryhill family at the OMC facility. On-track, many of the usual suspects were found on top of the podium throughout the weekend, as the championship chases turned another page.
