 The second round of the Superkarts! USA California ProKart Challenge is set for the upcoming weekend (March 1-2) at the Willow Springs International Raceway. Heading to its second stop of six for 2013, SKUSA is happy to announce an additional prize that has been included to the already $70,000+ season prize purse. New for 2013 is the Streets of Lancaster Grand Prix Driver Scholarship, worth over $11,000.
“We are always looking to find a way to give back to the racers, whether it's money, product or anything we can do,” commented Superkarts! USA’s Tom Kutscher. “The folks at the Streets of Lancaster Grand Prix are excited about karting, and want to be part of it beyond the one weekend they host our race. They are stepping up to support a driver’s racing program for a full season, something that is unheard of in our sport. I can’t thank them enough for this opportunity that we can present to our racers.”
The Streets of Lancaster Grand Prix Driver Scholarship program will reward the performance of a driver on and off the track, providing a full season of sponsorship in 2014 for the ProKart Challenge, the SKUSA Pro Tour and the SKUSA SuperNationals. This award is open to competitors in the TaG Junior, TaG Senior, S5 Junior, S2 Semi-Pro, and S1 Pro divisions.

 The California ProKart Challenge began the 2013 season for the Superkarts! USA organization as the flagship regional program hosted its opening round at the Buttonwillow Raceway Park on February 1-2. A record number of entries for the program under the SKUSA banner converged on the Buttonwillow, California facility, with drivers coming from as far as Texas, Hawaii and Canada to fill out the 150 total for the event.
“This weekend was just exciting,” stated Superkarts! USA President and California PKC promoter Tom Kutscher. “It was incredible to have 150 drivers and their families in the paddock. The atmosphere was so cool, and everybody was having a great time. It felt like the early days of the ProKart Challenge, people just out at the track for the love of the sport. The racing was outstanding, and to have the numbers we did across the board was awesome.”
The racing was exciting, with some recognizable names and some new faces at the front of the fields on the weekend. A familiar name was at the top of the Pure Karting TaG Senior qualifying sheets, as defending S1 champ Fritz Leesmann returned to the TaG ranks with fast lap of the session. His 48.486-second lap was quicker then young drivers Austin DeMent and NorCal transplant from Michigan Alex Keyes – making his TaG Senior debut. Leesmann set the pace early on in heat one, but Keyes took over the point and went on to score the win. Leesmann sat on his bumper to the checkered flag, with former PKC champ Travis Lowe running third. Keyes led the entire second heat race, pulling away to a three-second advantage as Lowe edged out Leesmann for the runner-up spot. Leesmann was the early charger in the 20-lap main event, taking over the lead from Keyes on lap three, but retired a lap later when with a broken coil wire. Keyes retook the top spot and would hold the position to the checkered flag, scoring his first PKC victory. Austin Elliott advanced up from eighth to second, scoring the fast lap of the race, while Mason Daughters recovered from 12th on the grid to place third. Mason Marotta and Jess Peterson rounded out the top five.
