Superkarts! USA Confirms 2011 Pro Tour Champions
Wednesday, 14 December 2011 12:50
The second season of the Superkarts! USA Pro Tour completed last month with the running of the SuperNationals XV in Las Vegas outside the Rio All-Suite Hotel and Casino. Following a record-breaking event that witnessed over 500 drivers competing, the eight championship categories closed out the final stop of the five round title chase - and decided just who would be part of the SKUSA ‘Circle of Champions.’ In each of the eight divisions, the top three drivers earned the coveted national number plates for the 2012 season in addition to the championship purse.

The two headline categories -- S1 Pro Stock Moto and TaG Senior -- were awarded roughly $18,000 in cash and prizes to split toward their championship fund. Superkarts! USA welcomed its first international driver to its champion alumni in S1. New Zealand’s Daniel Bray locked up the class title at the SuperNationals following a successful 2011 season. The 24-year old was the event winner at the SKUSA SpringNationals with two wins, and while the feature results were not as high as he had hoped, Bray scored the second highest total at the SummerNationals to lead the standings heading into the SuperNationals. Overcoming a mechanical issue in qualifying, Bray fought strong through the heat races and the main event to land third in the main event to secure the title. California driver Tom Dyer was his closest rival throughout the season. The veteran was the top performer at the SummerNationals, but come up just short in the end thanks to an upsetting finish at the SuperNationals to close the year second in the standings. S1 rookie Lukas Johnson was impressive in his first season, standing on the podium in three of the five feature races to earn the #3 plate for the 2012 season.

Superkarts! USA Announces 2012 ProKart Challenge Schedule
Tuesday, 06 December 2011 11:32
Fresh off its record-breaking SuperNationals in Las Vegas, Superkarts! USA is now gearing toward the 2012 season with full steam. Among the first tasks to be completed is finalizing the schedule for the regional programs that SKUSA sanctions throughout the country. With the Pro Tour dates now set, SKUSA is happy to announce the rejoining of the two California regional programs back into one schedule -- the 2012 ProKart Challenge series.

After four years of offering separate regional programs for the state of California, Superkarts! USA officials have elected to slim down the number of races for the upcoming season and offer just one regional for the ‘Golden State.’ The ProKart Challenge series began in 2005 as an eight-race program, featuring many of the same tracks as those on the schedule for 2012. The program was split into two separate schedules in 2008 when Superkarts! USA created a Northern California-based series. After four seasons, the two programs will reunite into one for the upcoming year.
