The 21st edition of the Superkarts! USA ProKart Challenge is projected to be one of the best seasons in the last decade. The organization’s flagship regional program is set to contest six rounds of racing over the course of five weekends, featuring three premier facilities in the southwest region of the United States.
The 2025 Superkarts! USA ProKart Challenge is set to begin on February 28-March 2 at the new K1 Circuit. The Winchester, California facility opened its doors to SKUSA competition for the first time at the end of 2024, welcoming huge numbers over the two weekends of racing. The opening event of the new season will feature a double-round format, with Round One being contested on Saturday and Round Two on Sunday. Registration for the opening event of the 2025 SKUSA ProKart Challenge opens January 28 at 7pm PST.
A new addition to the list of tracks for the Superkarts! USA ProKart Challenge is the Spring Mountain Karting facility. Part of the Spring Mountain Motor Resort and Country Club in Pahrump, Nevada, the new karting circuit was constructed in 2024, opening to karters in October. A portion of the new circuit (North Course) features a replica of the famed Las Vegas Karting Center, which was the site of the first five editions of the SKUSA SuperNationals, to complement the full layout at 1.13 miles. The facility is roughly an hour away from the downtown Las Vegas area and airport.

The opening weekend of the 2025 Superkarts! USA Winter Series came to a close on Sunday at the Orlando Kart Center. It was an improvement on the weather side for the over 300 entries at the Orlando, Florida facility. Clear skies brought on sunshine all day, despite chilly temps when the gates opened, there was no wind to allow the temps to rise into the 60s. Laps were cut down by two in both the Prefinal and Final, helping to keep on the printed schedule on the day. The main events wrapped up as the sun set and Round Two winners were decided. It ended with two wins each for the Senior drivers – Daniel Formal (Pro Shifter), Joe Turney (Pro X30) and Frankie Mossman (KA100 Senior).

The first day of racing for the 2025 season was completed on Saturday with the Superkarts! USA Winter Series completing Round One of the eighth season for the championship. The Orlando Kart Center, hosting the series for the first time, welcomed a record-setting non-SuperNationals event with over 300 entries competing in the nine categories on the day. Rain hit the area early in the morning, leaving a wet track through warm-up and it wasn’t until halfway through qualifying that drivers began switching over to the dry Evinco Tires. Cooler temperatures and strong winds kept everyone bundled up throughout the day despite the temps reaching the low 60s. One red flag on the day delayed the action by 30 minutes, pushing the final few main events under the lights at the Orlando, Florida circuit. In the end, four victories by Kart Republic led the way, including two-time SuperNationals winner Joe Turney claiming the Pro X30 victory while four-time SuperNationals winner Daniel Formal claimed victory in his Birelart debut with PSL Karting.

It was perfect conditions on Sunday in Las Vegas, with clear skies and bright sunshine. The sun set prior to the final main event of the day, as the Pro Shifter category put in a thrilling 25-lap Final to close out this year’s SuperNationals.
