 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.

 The countdown to the 15th running of the Superkarts! USA SuperNationals is down to just under two months away, and the organization is happy to announce an expansion in two more categories for the November 16-20 event outside the Rio All-Suite Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas. The S2 Semi-Pro Stock Moto and S4 Master Stock Moto divisions have now been opened up to allow 80 drivers to compete at the Pro Tour finale. As numerous pre-entry forms continue to file in, the SKUSA home office is busy putting the final touches on what is sure to be another record-breaking event.
“The numbers we are seeing entering for this year’s event is staggering,” commented Tom Kutscher, Superkarts! USA President. “Like a few other classes, the S2 and S4 categories filled to 40 much earlier this year, and we feel we owe it to our core of Stock Honda racers to find a way to broaden the schedule and expand the cap to 80 to allow them in. With both classes having a long waiting list pending, I encourage everyone that wants to join us in Vegas to enter now in order to reserve your spot -- before they fill up again.”
