 Rio All-Suite Hotel and Casino has already opened SKUSA room block, competitors urged to secure room reservations
Superkarts! USA and its racers are just 114 days away from the opening on-track sessions of the 17th annual SKUSA SuperNationals in Las Vegas, NV. As it has for the last four years, the Rio All-Suite Hotel and Casino will play host to SKUSA’s best pilots on the November 20-24 weekend, and this year’s race promises to be the biggest ever, with available openings for 600 competitors. A total of 11 classes are on the docket for this year – including SKUSA’s core Stock Moto and TaG classes, along with KZ2, Rotax Junior, and DD2 – and it’s time to open registration to allow racers to secure their position in the biggest race of the year. Registration for the race will begin at 12:00 a.m. Pacific Daylight Time on Thursday, August 1 at www.superkartsusa.com.
SKUSA racers and customers who ran in all of their regional ProKart Challenge events before July 1, or ran in the Pro Tour SpringNationals and were registered for the SummerNationals by July 1, were given the unique opportunity of entering early as part of the SuperNationals Priority Pre-Entry Program, which has just been completed. With those racers now entered and looking forward to November, SKUSA is preparing to open the online registration to the public so that they can lay claim to the spots that remain available.
SKUSA is expecting a mass influx of entries all day on Thursday, and with class caps set in all of the categories, racers are urged to enter as soon as possible so that they don’t miss out on the opportunity to be part of the action. SKUSA’s core classes will be front and center, with four offerings in Stock Moto (S1, S2, S4 and S5) and four in TaG (Senior, Master, Junior and Cadet). The international gearbox category – KZ2 – will return once again to run for a major league purse, and SKUSA has also partnered with the Rotax community to commemorate the running of the Rotax Grand Finals in the United States for the first time, offering a class for Rotax Junior and a combined DD2/ DD2 Masters race group, both of which will provide the first opportunity for Rotax drivers to earn a total of 3 tickets to the 2014 Rotax Grand Finals.

 Without a doubt, the Superkarts! USA SuperNationals in Las Vegas is the biggest sprint karting event in the world. This coming November, with the exciting addition of the Rotax Junior and DD2 categories, race attendance is expected to top the 575-driver mark. With each class size restricted to a pre-set maximum of either 40 or 80 spots, simply gaining entry into the event will be a competitor’s first victory. SKUSA is once again taking steps to ensure that its core customers will get the first chance to enter through their Priority Pre-Entry Program. Drivers who run in all of their ProKart Challenge races up to July 1, or who raced in the Pro Tour’s SpringNationals and are pre-entered in the SummerNationals by July 1, will be provided with special access to enter ahead of the official opening of SuperNationals registration on August 1.
“We’ve designed our SuperNationals Priority Pre-Entry process to be very straight-forward, but we’re still going to do our best to detail the procedure for our drivers so that they’ll be able to successfully take advantage of it,” offered Tom Kutscher, Superkart! USA President. “There are simple steps for our racers to take to make sure that they’ll be part of this year’s SuperNationals, because when we open registration to the public on August 1st, we’re expecting a flood of entries. It’s going to be a huge event this year – especially with the addition of the Rotax classes to commemorate the running of the Rotax Grand Finals in America – AND the free transfer spots for the winners to the 2014 Rotax Grand Finals. Needless to say, all available spots are going to go quickly.”

 Over the past three years, Superkarts! USA has been working diligently to develop its program of regional and national level racing, with much success. Thanks to a focused class structure and a dedication to customer service – and with the annual SuperNationals as its anchor event – SKUSA has opened up new regions around the country. It’s a business model that they can duplicate in any program and in any region.
One of the keys to this growth has been a tight focus on the Stock Moto and TaG programs, which have been growing steadily around the country. The top tiers of both categories have now come of age, and the time is right to make a move to reward SKUSA customers for their dedication and support. This reward will come in the form of a vastly increased purse for the S1 and TaG Senior categories at the SuperNationals XVII this November, where the winner of each main event could walk away with a check for $10,000. The cash purse alone for the 2013 SKUSA SuperNationals will be a whopping $45,000.
“There’s no doubt that I love the KZ2 class and the raw competition that it brings to the SuperNationals, but I am the biggest fan of our core headline classes, the men and women who bring us excitement at every Pro Tour and ProKart Challenge event of the season,” admits Tom Kutscher, Superkarts! USA President. “It’s time to give them their due at the SuperNationals, and we’re going to do that by putting up the same winner’s check in 2013 for S1 and TaG as we do for the KZ2 guys. It’s time….we’re putting up $10,000 to win in S1 and TaG Senior for drivers who run the entire Pro Tour with us this year! I want this to bring out all the big guns.”
The three headline classes at this year’s SuperNationals – KZ2, S1 and TaG Senior – will all run for respective $15,000 purses. In the S1 and TaG Senior classes, the winner must have run both the SpringNationals and the SummerNationals to be eligible for the $10,000 first place check at the SuperNationals. The purse distribution for the 3 classes will feature $10,000-to-win (or $3000-to-win in S1 or TaG Senior if the winner did not compete in the full Pro Tour), $2500 for second, $1250 for third, $750 for fourth and $500 for fifth.

 The 2013 season is going to be a big year for the sport of karting in the United States. The month of November will be a celebration of sport, for certain, as two of the worlds largest and most prestigious events are set to take place on US soil over a span of three weekends. The Rotax Grand Finals will make their first trip to the United States this fall and will take place the week before the country’s biggest event, the Superkarts! USA SuperNationals. Two of the most unique and exciting cities in the United States – New Orleans and Las Vegas – will provide the backdrops for what will be a memorable two weeks in the sport, ranging from the history and stories from Bourbon Street, to the bright lights and big dreams of the ‘Strip’.
It is with extreme excitement that the staff at Superkarts! USA announces the addition of a new program at this year’s SKUSA SuperNationals. Working in cooperation with MAXSpeed Group and the United States Rotax Max Challenge, and with a focus on promoting a celebration of karting in the fall of this year, SKUSA is officially announcing the addition of the Rotax Junior and DD2 classes to the SuperNationals XVII class line-up this November. SKUSA has also confirmed that they will be awarding the sport’s first tickets to the 2014 Rotax Grand Finals, as the winner in both the Rotax Junior and DD2 classes will win positions on their respective national teams for next year’s race.
