Coming to New Castle for the SummerNationals, but still need a hotel room? SKUSA has posted a few recommended hotels/motels in the New Castle and Greenfield areas with rooms currently available HERE. Book today to secure your necessary accommodations, as the Brickyard 500 and WKA events in town the same week mean limited availability and skyrocketing prices!

The seventh season of the Superkarts! USA Pro Tour is set to continue on July 22-24 at the New Castle Motorsports Park. This is the second straight year that the SummerNationals will travel to the New Castle, Indiana facility, following its successful debut with the SKUSA Pro Tour in 2015. Coming off a record number of drivers competing at the 2016 SpringNationals in Phoenix, SKUSA is setting up for another record-breaking weekend for the nine categories at the SummerNationals. Registration for the event is set to open this Thursday, June 9 at 7:00pm PDT (10:00 pm EDT) via the www.skusastore.com online link.
All event details – from the daily schedule to hotel information to how to make pit spot reservations – will be updated on the Pro Tour section of the SKUSA website this week.
Superkarts! USA would like to remind competitors that due to the Brickyard 500 scheduled to take place at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway on the same weekend, hotel rooms in the area are in high demand. It is also difficult for SKUSA to set up a block of rooms at a ‘host’ hotel with better rates than those currently available to the general public. A number of options are available in the Greenfield, Indiana area, roughly 20 minutes west of the facility, so it is encouraged for teams and drivers to secure reservations as soon as possible.
Anyone who competed at the 2016 SpringNationals and will be registered by July 10 for the SummerNationals can take part in the SKUSA SuperNationals XX Priority Pre-Entry Program.
For more info on anything related to Superkarts! USA, please check this website and be sure to follow the Superkarts! USA Facebook page and Twitter account – or call the SKUSA head office at 951-491-0808. |

After another warm day in the Phoenix desert, the 2016 Superkarts! USA Pro Tour is off and running with new winners, exciting stories, and loads of momentum. The first two races of this five-race national championship program are now in the books and SKUSA enjoyed the opportunity to celebrate 16 different winners in eight classes during the second day of the seventh annual SpringNationals, as there weren’t any repeat victors on Sunday. The level of competition has rose to a new level, following the trend of the overall entry numbers, hitting record heights. Winning in this program carries significant weight, and the breakthrough victories of pilots like Braden Eves (X30 Senior), Alan Michel (S4 Master), Dante Yu (X30 Junior) and Hunter Kelly (S2) have turned things upside down. Veterans rose to the occasion as well, as former Pro Tour champ Daniel Bray handled the day to score the S1 win, Jamie Sieracki was flawless in second X30 Master race, and Nick Firestone posted his first S4 Super Master victory. The young drivers in the program also impressed, with British talent Brandon Carr winning in Micro Swift while Tyler Maxson made a veteran-like last lap overtaking maneuver in Mini Swift to steal the win. In a simple statement, the competition in this year’s Pro Tour is stout. Read full story on eKartingNews.com |

It was the start to a new SKUSA Pro Tour season, and it had it all. The first day of action at the seventh annual SpringNationals was a roller coaster ride of emotion, and weather forecasts as well. The paddock was packed, and the excitement and tension were palpable. The expectations of a typical hot and dry Phoenix day were eventually turned upside down by wind and rain, and were then made incredibly exciting by a journey from Evinco slicks to MG rains and, for the gambling few in S1, back to Evincos for a run to victory. Light sprinkles at the start of the mains made way for a period of hard rain in the middle of the X30 Master final, which pushed the drivers to adapt. And truly, the ability to ‘adapt’ was the theme for the day. A new track layout may have introduced limited overtaking opportunities, and blowing wind and sand may have decreased grip levels, but the level of competition was as record-breaking as the entry numbers, as the entire field both X30 Senior and X30 Junior qualifying were separated by less than a second.
