 The 2013 California ProKart Challenge resumes next weekend as the Superkarts! USA regional series travels again to the ButtonwillowRacewayPark. On September 6-7, the fifth round of the six-race championship will be contested on the 7/10-mile course in Buttonwillow, California. Numbers have been stellar throughout the year, and with drivers battling for championships, preparing for the California PKC finale at the Streets of Lancaster Grand Prix later in the month, and of course preparations for the SKUSA SuperNationals in November, the weekend should have an awesome turnout with a full paddock. Visiting the facility for the second time in 2013, this event will utilize the Kart #1 configuration – this time in the clockwise direction – which is a first for the series and will add to the excitement and challenges of the weekend’s racing.ProKart Challenge logoWith two races left in the 2013 California PKC season, and one drop allowed toward the final point standings, all of the championships are still up for grabs – with drivers looking to cement their names in the hunt following the action at Buttonwillow.
