The 2024 Superkarts! USA Pro Tour WinterNationals marks the 15th season of the organizations premier championship program. The March 8-10 event is scheduled for the Orlando Kart Center in Orlando, Florida.

The Semi-Pro will compete in Round One action on Saturday with qualifying, Prefinal and Final with Round Two contested on Sunday with the same format. The new Pro Show has the X30 and Shifter divisions held out until the end of the day where they will run a Qualifying and Super Pole session before running their Prefinal races.

SKUSA ANNOUNCES CONTINUED COLLABORATION WITH IAME ITALY WHICH WILL SEE THE 2024 SKUSA PRO TOUR AND WINTER SERIES CO-BRANDED AS THE ‘IAME SERIES USA WEST’
Thursday, 07 December 2023 09:26

Fresh off the momentum of the 2023 SuperNationals, SKUSA is pleased to reveal a deeper collaboration globally with IAME Italy (S.p.A.S.U.) for the 2024 season. Beginning in January, the SKUSA Winter Series and subsequent ProTour events will also be recognized worldwide as the IAME Series USA West. The naming convention is part of a bigger push by IAME Italy to unify racing series across different countries and spotlight talent from multiple continents.
 
"It's a great thing to help bring everyone under one banner,” explained SKUSA’s principal Tom Kutscher. “The competition in the United States has become one of the best in the world, and we’re always keen on having our most talented drivers recognized in the same discussions as other greats in the sport.”

Staggering $310K Purse for 2024 Pro Tour and Exciting Format Change for Pro Classes
Saturday, 14 October 2023 15:04

With the 2024 Pro Tour dates set and the locations almost set for release, SuperKarts! USA is excited to announce an unprecedented prize package totaling over $310,000 in value and a revamped race format that will put the pro classes in a prime time, afternoon-only time slot. And as has been the case for 2023, every second of Kart Chaser LIVE Streaming will be fully free-to-view.

This prize package builds upon what was already a massive purse in 2023, which totaled $212,000. 2024’s Pro Tour purse will see a near 50% increase. Full details about this groundbreaking prize package have also been posted.

Based in part on the Kart Chaser LIVE Stream viewership data, the Pro X30 and Pro Shifter divisions will move to run only in the afternoon on all three Pro Tour weekends. This will additionally help teams in being able to share staff between their drivers in these two divisions and the Semi-Pro classes that will run in the earlier part of each day, just as teams have been able to do at the SuperNats with the split-day format used from Wednesday to Saturday.

The 2023 Superkarts! USA Pro Tour SummerNationals went into the books on Sunday, completing Round Six of this year’s championship program during the final day of action at the SummerNationals. A clean day of weather at the New Castle Motorsports Park following the crazy first three days in New Castle, Indiana. A couple red flags delayed the action on the day, however, all drivers were cleared of any injuries. ‘Championship Sunday’ will go down as one of the most memorable days in the 14-year history of the program, watching the first international title winner in the X30 Senior division thanks to Brit Joe Turney giving Kart Republic its first as well. And for a second straight time, Pro Shifter has a two-time champion in PSL Karting’s Marijn Kremers after a wild last lap behind race winner AJ Myers.

The final class in the order on the weekend was the Speed Concepts Racing X30 Senior category, providing the final bit of drama for the 2023 season. Five-time SKUSA Pro Tour champion Ryan Norberg (RPG / Kosmic) laid down a monster lap of 1:04.180 in qualifying to clear the field by two tenths. It was three-time winner and championship leader Joe Turney (CDR / Kart Republic) that took the win in the Prefinal as he along with Alessandro de Tullio (IM / Kart Republic), 2022 FIA Karting World Champion Matheus Morgatto (PSL / Birel ART) and Nate Cicero (RPG / Kosmic) pushing Norberg back to fifth in the order. That gave Turney the ability to finish 10th or better in order to claim the SKUSA title ahead of Norberg. The first four laps featured four different leaders with Morgatto jumping ahead in the opening circuit before ADT took a turn. It was Turney next to the lead before Norberg assumed the spot. That is when Norberg and Turney put in the pace, getting away from the field. Turney took the lead back on lap 10 before the shuffled for the spot once again on lap 15 and 16. Turney held the position with the white flag waving and Norberg went on the attack. He was able to pull the over under out of the ‘Scoreboard’ corner getting the advantage by the time they reached ‘Cell Tower’ turn. Norberg went defensive into the double left handers, but allowed just enough space for Turney to dive inside at the second left for the over under. That was all he needed as Norberg’s pace slowed with the move, allowing Turney to drive to the checkered flag for his fourth win of the season, second on the weekend to celebrate his first SKUSA Pro Tour championship. De Tullio drove alone in third with Morgatto climbing back to fourth after falling down to 10th early on. British driver Brandon Carr (RPM / Tony Kart) was hard charger of the race, gaining 18 spots over the 18 laps to finish fifth.

The fifth round of the Superkarts! USA Pro Tour SummerNationals went into the record books as one that many will not forget. It began with a strong storm blowing through the New Castle Motorsports Park paddock in the early morning hours, damaging a number of tents and equipment. SKUSA delayed the start of the on-track action for two hours, and the karting community came together to assist those in need of help, tents or any other items needed to get back to racing. Once the action began, the warm New Castle, Indiana weather tested the staff, racers and machines to complete the qualifying, Prefinal and Final action for the day.

The Speed Concepts Racing X30 Senior class featured a handful of drivers fighting to be the one to stand on the podium at the end of the day. Championship leader Joe Turney (CDR / Kart Republic) gained 10 points at the start, setting fast time in qualifying. However, five-time SKUSA champion Ryan Norberg (RPG / Kosmic) put in his bid for the top spot with a strong run in the Prefinal ahead of Turney and Blake Nash (Nash / EOS). The three broke away from the rest of the field, joined by WinterNationals winner Matheus Morgatto (PSL / Birel ART). All but the 2022 FIA Karting World Champion had a turn at the point until Turney assumed the lead on lap 11. Fighting for second place allowed the British driver to establish a two-second advantage by the time Norberg fought up to the runner-up spot with six laps remaining. Turney was able to hold that gap through the final laps to record his third victory of the season. Norberg put in all the effort, posting the fast lap of the race on the final circuit to steal those 10 bonus points while finishing second. Morgatto finally came away with the third spot in the closing laps to third podium on the season while IAME USA Grand National Championship winner Dalton Hanes (CDR / Alonso Kart) ended up fourth. Nash completed the top-five for what was best result of the season.
