 The inaugural Texas ProKart Challenge (TPKC) presented by 3G Kart Racing/Burger King™/Fernelius Alvarez Attorneys event went into the books over the weekend (May 4-6) at the Gulf Coast Kartways facility in Katy, Texas. The TPKC is a combination of Superkarts! USA (SKUSA) and United States Rotax Max Challenge (USRMC) programs, kicking off the year with rounds one and two around the 7/10-mile course. The Gulf Coast Karters helped to organize a great event with a ton of positive feedback throughout the weekend from a number of competitors.
“This was a great way to open up the Texas ProKart Challenge program. With the support of so many companies and a solid group of racers, the weekend went off perfectly,” stated TPKC director Dave Pauly. “We had a number of track records fall over the weekend, showing the talent that was here this weekend. The racing was great and the mixture of SKUSA and Rotax racers proved to be a great combination. I’m really looking forward to the rest of the year.”

After months of planning and promoting, the new Texas ProKart Challenge (TPKC) presented by 3G Kart Racing/Burger King™/Fernelius Alvarez Attorneys will host its inaugural event at the Gulf Coast Kartways in Katy Texas. The six-round championship begins on the May 4-6 weekend with the first two rounds contested around the 7/10-mile course. The TPKC is a combination of Superkarts!

In total, 16 categories will be available throughout the three-weekend series with the chance for local option categories to join the fun and excitement of the new program.
A number of star drivers from the area will be in attendance on the weekend. 3G Kart Racing and Champion Racing will field their stud pilots in a number of categories, including Jake French, Jordon Musser, Chris Jennings, Ryan Kinnear, Connor Wagner, Alex Tartaglia and many other names that were among the top drivers at the recent SKUSA SpringNationals.

The racers voiced their opinions about the Texas ProKart Challenge tire requirements and the series listened. Due to racer feedback Texas ProKart Challenge has changed the tire rule and all classes will be required to have new tires on Saturday only, new tires on Sunday are optional.
SKUSA and local option classes must buy their tires from the series. Rotax classes may buy their tires from any dealer. Tire purchase is available through online registration on the Texas ProKart Challenge website and will be delivered to the track.
We hope all area racers will be pleased with this rule change and will race with the Texas ProKart Challenge Series in 2012! |

The promoters of the newly created Texas ProKart Challenge (TPKC) are very excited to announce the development of several cost-saving initiatives that have been designed to make the series more attractive to area racers. Competitors in the Texas-based regional series will have the opportunity to win a paid entry into the world-renowned SKUSA SuperNationals and the prestigious United States Rotax Grand Nationals, and they will also be offered the chance to qualify for TPKC entry fee discounts. In addition, the partnership between SKUSA and Vortex will provide the opportunity for Cadet class drivers to run in the TaG Cadet category through a loaner engine program. When combined with the wealth of talent on hand in the Lone Star state, the stage is set for an impressive inaugural three-event season.
One of the primary objectives of any karter racing in the Texas ProKart Challenge will be to win a championship title. Drivers who win the title in the SKUSA classes will receive a guaranteed starting position in the SuperSunday main event at the SuperNationals, regardless of their heat race or LCQ performances. The series promoters have added a further incentive to strive for with the announcement of paid entries to the SKUSA SuperNationals and the US Rotax Nationals. A portion of each Texas ProKart Challenge entry fee is being utilized to give the 2012 class champions in the SKUSA classes a paid entry to the SKUSA SuperNationals XVI at the Rio Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada this November. The Rotax class champions will also be part of the program, earning a paid entry to the US Rotax Grand Nationals at Michiana Raceway Park in South Bend, Indiana in late August.
