There can be no arguing the fact that the current economic recession has had a major effect on the sport of karting. It has no doubt curtailed the influx of new drivers to our racing community, but it is also re-focusing the existing base of competitors, causing many of them to reconsider their options. In many cases, local clubs are seeing an increase in participation due to the fact that racers are electing to run closer to home, lessening the cost of travel. The traveling national series and large special events, such as this weekend’s Rock Island Grand Prix, have been the hardest hit. However, a shining light in the sport remains the upcoming Superkarts! USA SuperNationals, which is set for the November 18-22 weekend in Las Vegas, Nevada. Last year’s return to the Rio All-Suites Hotel and Casino, coupled with the focused class structure and 13-year history, has given some indication that the race has become ‘recession proof’. In the end, the key may just be that people are saving up for that one special event to end the year. eKartingNews.com is keeping in close communication with SKUSA to provide a steady stream of updates. |

 With news of Superkarts! USA’s return to the Rio All-Suite Las Vegas Hotel and Casino, the 13th annual SKUSA SuperNationals is once again poised to be one of the biggest kart races in the world. Wasting no time and only days after the official announcement, prestigious eyewear and apparel manufacturer Oakley has confirmed a return to sponsoring the marquee karting event.
Oakley has pledged another significant involvement for this year’s race, underscoring their commitment to the sport of karting as a whole - and its ‘Superbowl’ event in the SuperNationals. “Last year was Oakley’s first at the SuperNats and we were absolutely blown away,” commented Oakley’s motorsport marketing manager Todd Hayes. “The caliber of the event, the competition, and the buzz the entire race generates aligns perfectly with our brand.” |

 Only a month has passed since Superkarts! USA leader Tom Kutscher opened the doors on registration for this year’s SuperNationals, but the grids for the Las Vegas event are already filling up fast. Set for the week of November 18-22, this year’s karting festival will be packed wall-to-wall as has been confirmed by the number of entries already received at the SKUSA offices and the number of rooms reserved at the Rio All-Suite Hotel and Casino.
“The numbers we have seen pile in over the last few weeks is simple amazing – we had over 100 entries the very first day!” stated SKUSA owner and president Kutscher. “Between the entry totals we are seeing already and the number of rooms booked at the Rio, there is no doubt this event will be huge. With last year’s event as a measuring stick, we are already past last year’s hotel books by over 40% and that says a lot about our program, our staff and the whole package that we present for our customers and karting friends. This year’s event will truly be one you don’t want to miss.” |
