The 2012 edition of the Superkarts! USA SuperNationals began two days ago outside the Rio All-Suite Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas as nearly 500 drivers made their way onto the temporary circuit for the first time. Friday marked the first day of three where results on track matter - with qualifying and the opening round of heat races taking place. The day commenced on Friday morning under overcast and cloudy skies on a track that is most-favourable to all the racers here, touting it as one of the best tracks ever for the SKUSA SuperNationals.
Following a seven minute warm-up run for the morning classes (S4, S5, KZ2, and TaG Senior), it was time for the qualifying runs to determine the grids for the three heat races to come for each class. Read full story on eKartingNews.com |

 Now just two weeks away from the opening day of competition for the SuperNationals XVI presented by MG Tires, Superkarts! USA is pleased to announce the current prize package for this year’s event. The 16th running of the SuperNationals, which is set to take place at the Rio All Suite Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas on November 14-18, will cap the third edition of the SKUSA Pro Tour series and will shell out roughly $100,000 in cash and prizes to make the event one of the most lucrative in North America in 2012.
The nearly $100,000 prize package includes cash, contingencies, SKUSA’s ‘Circle of Champions’ program, and numerous products that have been provided by a number of supporting companies. Nearly half of the value that is on the table in Vegas will be actual prize money, as an astounding $42,000 is set to be awarded on SuperSunday. The three ‘Pro’ classes on the schedule – S1, KZ2, and TaG Senior – will see the top-five awarded healthy checks for their accomplishments. The international KZ2 category will once again vie for a total purse of $20,000 – with a stunning $10,000 going to the victor. Both S1 and TaG Senior will be gunning for the $2,000 check that will be provided to the driver standing on the top spot of the podium, and the rest of the top-five in each category will split the balance of the $5,000 class purses. Another $12,000 will be awarded in the SKUSA Pro Tour Points Fund, as the champion in the S1 and TaG Senior categories will leave Vegas with a $3,000 paycheck. The vice-champion takes home $2,000 while the third place driver in the final standings will be awarded $1,000. As always, SKUSA’s Patti Kutscher will be providing the winners with the actual checks during the awards presentations on Sunday night – you won’t hear “the checks in the mail” with Superkarts! USA.

The countdown to the Superkarts! USA SuperNationals XVI continues as the country’s largest karting event will begin in under three weeks. Entries continue to stream in ahead of the Thursday, November 1 closing date, filling up the final remaining spots in the nine categories that are set to compete during the week of November 14-18. Drivers will battle for the over $100,000 in cash and prizes that will be doled out on SuperSunday. In addition to the stacked line-up of prize money and awards, one of the primary constants for each of the expected 500-plus drivers in Las Vegas this year will be MG Tires. Since 2005, MG Tires has been the official tire of the SKUSA SuperNationals, and to further cement their continuing support of this great event, the Brazilian tire manufacturer has signed on as the title sponsor for the 16th annual running of the SuperNationals.
MG Tires is among the major kart tire manufacturers in the world, and they have invested heavily in research and development for over 20 years. The Brazilian company exports its products throughout North, Central and South America, Australia, and numerous countries in Europe. MG Tires has been the official tire of the Superkarts! USA Pro Tour for the past three seasons, including the introduction of the MG ‘SKUSA’ White tire at the beginning of 2011. The continued support in 2012 began with MG Tires signing on as the title sponsor for the SKUSA SpringNationals, held at the PKRA Formula K Raceway in Phoenix back in April. The relationship between Superkarts! USA and MG Tires has helped both companies to grow steadily in recent years, and additional expansion is on the horizon.
