 The seventh and final round of the Superkarts! USA ProKart Challenge North program took place on September 12 at the Jim Russell International Karting Center in Sonoma, California. The final race of the season could not have been scripted out more dramatically with the number of circumstances deciding the eight series championships.
After perfect weather during the Friday practice day, heavy storms rolled through overnight to greet the racers with unknowing conditions. PKC Officials nearly instituted the ‘tough guy’ bonus points had the day’s weather continued downward and the rains returned; however, the skies cleared up and no rain race was called. Aside from the weather nearly becoming a factor in the championship chases, the action on track provided enough excitement with the titles pending on the last 20 laps of the season.
Coming in 40 points down in the TaG Senior championship chase, Brett Buckwalter earned his first 10 points of the event after dropping down the quick lap during the qualifying session, besting point leader Will Martindale and Brett Felkins – who came into the finale tied for second in the points with Buckwalter. Felkins would make up the ten points he lost in qualifying, besting Buckwalter in both heat races. Felkins edged Buckwalter by 0.077-seconds in the first heat and only 0.098-seconds in the second heat, with JP Cadoux and Andrick Zeen joining in on the fight. |

After evaluation of our current rules and weights for TAG Senior and Masters we are releasing the changes below. Note that these changes are a result of our experience in both Pro Kart North and South events as well as monitoring the results of other series through this competition year.
Effective Sept, 15, 2009
- Sonik VX and TX engines while continuing to be allowed in Prokart competition will not be on the list of approved engines for the SuperNats. We based this decision due to the lack of participation upon which to base comparative weights.
- Weights, Senior / Master:
- Class A engines: ROK TT 375 / 415 lbs
- Class B engines: Rotax, Motori 7 365 / 405 lbs
- Class C engines: Leopard 355 / 395 lbs
Note: As always SKUSA reserves the right to adjust these weights as experience dictates with reasonable notice.

As part of a sport that has traditionally been overwhelmed by far too many classes, the continuing growth of the Superkarts! USA organization is being directed at a much tighter focus. The newest announcement from the operation’s Temecula headquarters is the unveiling of a reworked class structure that will continue SKUSA’s dedication to the Stock Moto and TaG categories. At the beginning of the decade, Superkarts! USA benefited from a very simple class structure, and the time has come to re-organize the current line-up. All of the current classes remain in the program, but several will be renamed and re-organized to present a more properly tiered system.
Beginning with the 2010 season, this new structure will become the foundation of SKUSA’s future growth, steering the organization clear of karting’s over-flowing mess of categories. The reworked line-up will keep the organization’s ‘S’ nomenclature and will run from S5 up to S1. The program will be headlined by the S1 class - the new name for the current S3 formula - which is the organization’s Stock Moto Expert offering. S3 and S4 have become the backbone of the SKUSA movement, and the excitement over affordable Stock Moto racing has pushed them to the forefront. With S1 positioned at the ‘Pro’ class, the new S2 category will be tabbed as the ‘Amateur Stock Moto’ class. S3 will be re-invented as a new Stock Moto class for Masters drivers. Several current G1 Masters drivers have made the move from the ICC or built moto-powered class to the Stock Moto package, prompting SKUSA to fuel this development by giving the 30+ year-old drivers a chance to enjoy the affordability and reliability of the Stock Honda in an official capacity. |
