The 2025 season for the ProKart Challenge is ushering in a resurgence for the Superkarts! USA regional program. Following the double-round weekend that opened the season at the new K1 Circuit, the championship program is now set to venture to another new facility, this time in Nevada. The third round of the 2025 ProKart Challenge is scheduled for April 12-13 at the Spring Mountain Karting facility. The Pahrump, NV circuit finished paving in 2024 and will welcome Superkarts! USA for its inaugural race weekend.
Spring Mountain Karting circuit is part of the Spring Mountain Motor Resort & Country Club facility that features over six miles of racetrack with resort-style amenities. The karting course broke ground in April 2024 on a 45-acre plot on the southeastern portion of the facility. The Spring Mountain Karting facility includes a 1.13-mile full course, a 28’ wide surface, and a 7.3 acre paddock area. Future development on the site includes a kart shop and storage, private garages, a control tower and viewing area, member’s lounge and more.

The first event of the 2025 ProKart Challenge program was held on the February 28-March 2 weekend at the new K1 Circuit. The Winchester, California facility welcomed the Superkarts! USA regional program for a third time since opening its doors in August 2024. Rounds One and Two of the 2025 championship program kicked off with perfect racing weather to begin the 21st season for the series.
The sold out Formula Works KA100 Senior class welcomed 52 drivers around the 1-mile circuit. They were led by veterans Jake Drew and Oliver Calvo in the opening qualifying session on Saturday, with the two separated by only 30 thousandths. It was Drew’s 1:02.994 lap that was best in the session. Drew and Calvo were shuffled back at the start of the Prefinal, allowing Jackson Menchu to show the way. He would get overtaken by former SuperNationals winner Zachary Claman Demelo and Shea Aldrich to finish 1-2 at the end of the Prefinal and lead the field to the green flag for the Final. The two exchanged the top spot several times over the first half of the race until 2024 series champion Keagan Kaminski worked his way up into the battle. He grabbed the lead on lap 10. Kaminski continued leading over Claman Demelo and Calvo until the two challengers were involved in an incident. Claman Demelo retired while Calvo fell outside the top 10. Senior rookie Johnie Stamps became the new challenger for Kaminski as they fought to the checkered flag. At the line, it was Kaminski taking the victory ahead of Stamps and Menchu. Josh Campbell was fourth with Theo Kekati in fifth.

The 2025 Superkarts! USA ProKart Challenge is set to begin on February 28-March 2 at the new K1 Circuit. The Winchester, California facility opened its doors to SKUSA competition for the first time at the end of 2024, welcoming huge numbers over the two weekends of racing. The opening event of the new season will feature a double-round format, with Round One being contested on Saturday and Round Two on Sunday. Registration for the opening event of the 2025 SKUSA ProKart Challenge opens January 28 at 7pm PST.
A new addition to the list of tracks for the Superkarts! USA ProKart Challenge is the Spring Mountain Karting facility. Part of the Spring Mountain Motor Resort and Country Club in Pahrump, Nevada, the new karting circuit was constructed in 2024, opening to karters in October. A portion of the new circuit (North Course) features a replica of the famed Las Vegas Karting Center, which was the site of the first five editions of the SKUSA SuperNationals, to complement the full layout at 1.13 miles. The facility is roughly an hour away from the downtown Las Vegas area and airport.

Two decades of racing completed in September for the California ProKart Challenge. The Superkarts! USA regional program hosted five events, featuring six rounds of competition throughout southern California. It was another successful year, experiencing tight racing in every category, while the organization awarded over $50,000 in prizes over the course of the season, including weekend and championship awards.
The 2024 California ProKart Challenge was a best five of six championship format, visiting four facilities over five weekends. Buttonwillow Raceway Park hosted the opening two rounds in March and April before the series traveled to the Santa Maria Karting Association facility in May. A double-header weekend in August ushered in the new K1 Circuit before returning to the Winchester, CA facility in September for the sixth and final round of the championship program.
