On September 7, 2010 we posted information regarding the carburetors allowed in Stock Honda classes. These regulations took effect October 1, 2010.
The maximum bore size was inadvertently left off which has remained unchanged at 38.6mm.
In addition,we have now posted in the Rule Book Section under Rules Updates pictures of the allowed carburetors as well as unacceptable models that have raised questions.

 The SKUSA office is crazy busy, as entries have now surpassed 460 -- by far the largest entry count ever in the history of this event! The following classes are SOLD OUT, with the wait lists hitting double-digits: TaG Cadet, TaG Senior, TaG Master, and S2. There are 2 more classes on the verge of selling out: KZ2 and G1. The classes with room still available for those procrastinators: KF2, S1, S4, S5 and TaG Junior.
Deadlines Approaching: The pre-registration cutoff for this event is SUNDAY, OCTOBER 31ST, at midnight. Any interested racers that miss this deadline will have to pay an extra $200 walk-up fee to register at the track -- and that's if there is still room to run in the desired class. Oct. 31st is also the last day for anyone wishing to cancel their entry to notify SKUSA and still get a refund on their paid entry fees.
Practice Tires: For drivers and teams wanting to pre-order and/or pre-purchase practice tires -- the same practice tires that the drivers will be racing on in Vegas -- you will want to get those ordered NOW to guarantee their availability at the track!

 Not only will it be the single biggest karting event in North America in 2010 at an expected 450-plus drivers, but the 14th annual Superkarts! USA SuperNationals will also feature a record-setting prize package of over $70,000. The awards program for this year’s Las Vegas spectacular is diverse, ranging from cold hard cash to a trip to Italy for a world championship event in 2011 for a deserving TaG Cadet driver. Heading into the race, SKUSA has already presented free SuperNats entry packages and guaranteed starting spots to a number of drivers who excelled on the Pro Tour, and when it’s all said and done, they will dole out their new national number plates and complimentary entry fee packages to their nine Pro Tour champions. All in all, this will be the most lucrative SuperNationals in the history of the event.
The total prize money being awarded at this year’s race will be a staggering $39,500, including both the event purse and the Pro Tour championship points fund. The purse will be awarded to the three ‘Pro’ classes on the schedule – KZ2, S1 and TaG Senior. The international KZ2 category is positioned in the prime 1:00 pm time slot on SuperSunday and the drivers will once again vie for a $20,000 purse that will be split among the top-five in the class; a cool $10k going to the victor. For the first time in event history, both S1 Pro Stock Moto and TaG Senior will be gunning for cash as well, as each class will enjoy a $1,750 purse with $1,000 being awarded to the winner. |
