| Superkarts! USA Expands S2 and S4 SuperNationals Fields to 80 |
| Wednesday, 21 September 2011 09:42 |
 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.” S2 and S4 will join the sold-out classes of TaG Senior, TaG Junior and TaG Cadet, as these five categories will now host up to 80 drivers at this year’s SKUSA SuperNationals. The remainder of the categories will remain capped at 40 drivers, with TaG Master currently the only class thus far to reach that mark (and will unfortunately not open up further). International drivers are gradually committing to the KF2 and KZ2 categories, with both to include some high-profile names. With close to 50 drivers on the waiting list for TaG Senior, but no more room on the schedule to expand the class further, it is encouraged that those drivers seek out an opportunity to compete in another division, such as KF2. The headline S1 Pro Stock Moto division is also filling out nicely, with G1 and S5 Junior Stock Moto capping off the 11 classes for the 15th anniversary event. “With five categories to be run over the 40-kart count, this will expand the total number of on-track groups to 16,” add Kutscher. “It’s an added challenge to our trackside staff, but we are putting the plans in place to make sure everything goes off without a hitch. Our schedule format of morning and afternoon class groupings as in the past two years will continue, with a tentative schedule to be released soon. There is no doubt that this year’s event is going to be insane with the amount of talent we have coming in.” SKUSA’s room block at the Rio All-Suite Hotel and Casino is also at sold out capacity; however, the hotel may still honor the special group code and pricing for a limited time for call-in customers only. It is encouraged that those attending set their reservations now before the hotel closes the group code and special rate for good. Event attendees may book their reservations by calling toll free 1-866-746-7671 and refer to group code ‘SRSNA11’. Paddock layout for this year’s event will begin shortly, with details to be posted on the Superkarts! USA website within the next few days to direct drivers and teams on how to send in their detailed pit requests. As always, ALL drivers on a team will need to be registered for the race prior to the team being placed on the pit map. SKUSA would also like to remind competitors that wish to have practice tires from SKUSA delivered to the event to pre-order them prior to November 1st (or earlier, if shipping is requested). The MG-SK ‘White’ tire will be mandated for all sessions – both practice and competition – at this year’s SuperNationals. TaG Cadet must use the MG-HZ ‘Red’ tire for all their on-track activities. A recap of the prize packages for this year’s event – as well as additional event information -- will be continuously updated on the website as well as announced in the coming weeks.
