  • Membership: ProKart Challenge requires a current SKUSA membership to race. Purchase or renew your membership thru the online store, or sign up at the track on Friday or Saturday. Memberships are good for 12 months.
  • Colored Number Panels: ProKart Challenge now requires a specific color combination on your kart number panels. See the website under the RACE NUMBERS section for those specifics.

  • Series Prizes: See the PKC website for details about the 2008 series prizes. NOTE: The Championship points system is based on your best 5 of the 6 races for this season, so if you missed a round, you’re still in!
