 Can you feel it? The tension, nervousness, excitement and anticipation that’s in the air…it is all for the upcoming Superkarts! USA SuperNationals XV. The parking lot of the Rio All-Suite Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas may be partially empty right now, but in less than 10 days, a transformation will take place as the expanse of asphalt will become the site of the biggest karting event of the year. Over 500 drivers from the United States and around the world will come together on November 16-20 to battle for supremacy in 11 categories, eight of which will see the 2011 SKUSA Pro Tour champion crowned.
The big week in Vegas will signify the sixth stop for the eKartingNews.com Trackside Live 2011 Tour. For the third straight year, EKN will be providing live audio broadcasts of the action from the SKUSA SuperNationals. The program will be on Friday with qualifying, and from there, EKN will be live for nearly 24 hours over two days as the drivers post their fast laps in the timed session, work through the three rounds of heat races, and Last Chance Qualifiers to set the grid for the final day of competition. The three-day broadcast continues at 9:30 am on SuperSunday with the opening ceremonies and into the 11 main events to crown this year’s SuperNationals champions.

 In roughly 20 days, more than 500 drivers from all over the world will converge on Las Vegas, Nevada for the 15th running of the Superkarts! USA SuperNationals. The annual event not only hosts the nation’s top competitors, but it will also attract some of the best international drivers for what will be a head-to-head fight for supremacy. The event also signifies the final round of the 2011 SKUSA Pro Tour, which means that there will be season-ending championships on the line for eight of the categories included at this event. With a packed paddock and full fields guaranteed, there is no doubt this year’s SuperNationals is going to be historic. The Superkarts! USA staff has been working around the clock to put the finishing touches on this year’s event at the Rio All-Suite Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas, and the deadline for pre-entry is closing fast.
The next item on the SKUSA to-do list will be the deadline for pre-registration on Tuesday, November 1 at Midnight. At that time, the SKUSA Store will close for pre-entry, race tire sales, transponder rentals, practice tire sales and event memberships. After November 1, the purchasing of those items and to enter the event (at an increased price of $200 more) will be available only at the track. As announced previously, TaG Senior, TaG Master and TaG Cadet have been sold out and you may only be added to the current wait list for each category. TaG Junior was previously sold out; however, with cancellations and the wait list entries added in, there is still a chance for drivers to enter before it’s officially closed. S2 and S4 are nearing the cap and do not have wait lists, so qualified drivers may still enter these two classes, while spots also still remain in S1, KZ2, KF2, G1, and S5.

 In an effort to continue the incredible momentum that the organization has been enjoying this season, Superkarts! USA is thrilled to be able to officially announce the dates for their 2012 Pro Tour. The second edition of SKUSA’s West Coast circuit enjoyed significant growth this past season, and more is expected in 2012 when the series travels to Phoenix, AZ for the SpringNationals in April. The traditional July scheduling of the SummerNationals is set -- with the actual venue to be announced soon. As has been the case for the last 15 years, Las Vegas will play host to the SuperNationals in November.
For 2012, the Pro Tour will kick off with the third annual SpringNationals on April 20-22 at the Phoenix Kart Racing Association facility in Glendale, AZ. The venue for the SummerNationals is currently in the works, pending final discussions and a pair of site inspections on two potential locations. The date has been confirmed for the July 20-22 weekend. The traditional cap to the season will be the SuperNationals at the Rio All-Suite Hotel & Casino on November 14-18, 2012 -- dates that have been contracted through 2013.
“I would have liked to have been able to officially announce both venues at this time, but we need to do a little more work before this can happen,” offers Tom Kutscher, Superkarts! USA President. “That said, I feel that it is important to our drivers and teams to get our dates out as soon as possible, so that they can begin assembling their 2012 travel schedules. We’re very close to a decision on the SummerNationals location, and I expect that it will be confirmed before we head to Las Vegas.”
