 In just over three weeks time, the sun will rise over the Las Vegas Strip to the smell of VP racing fuel and Motul oil, and the sound of almost 600 karts hitting a temporary circuit built on the grounds of the Rio All-Suite Hotel and Casino. This exciting attack on the senses will mark the beginning of the 17th annual Superkarts! USA SuperNationals. The event is expected to be the largest karting event in the world this year, with up to 600 drivers travelling into Nevada to compete during the week of November 20-24, including the best from all over North America as well as a number of international karting stars and professional drivers from all forms of motorsports.
SKUSA SuperNationals XVII logoSuperkarts! USA’s collaboration with its many sponsors and supporters has helped to build a prize package of over $100,000 for this year’s SuperNationals, which will all be handed out following the action on SuperSunday. Part of that total is an astonishing $57,000 in cash, with $45,000 up for grabs to the top-five drivers in the three headline categories – TaG Senior, S1 Pro Stock Moto and KZ2. Welcoming the best international drivers, the KZ2 class will once again reward its winner with $10,000 for the victory at the SuperNationals, while another $5,000 will be handed out to the remaining pilots on the podium. S1 and TaG Senior will each race for an $8,000 cash purse, with the winner taking home a minimum of $3,000. Should the winner in either category be a SKUSA Pro Tour racer who competed at both the SpringNationals and SummerNationals, that driver is scheduled to earn another $7,000 bonus, making it a cool $10k to win the biggest event of the year. The champions in both S1 and TaG Senior will also take home part of the $12,000 SKUSA Pro Tour championship purse, with each title winner scoring $3,000, the vice-champion $2,000 and third place in points a $1,000 check.

The 2013 SKUSA SuperNationals XVII continues to grow in numbers. The entry total for the event reached the 500 mark by the middle of September, and will now expand further with the opening of 40 more positions in the S2 Semi-Pro Stock Moto category. Already sold out at 40 drivers, the category will increase to welcome up to 80 drivers for the November 20-24 event outside the Rio All-Suite Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas.
The S2 class was among the first to fill up in the first 36 hours of registration for the event, and with a growing wait list, Superkarts! USA will now alter the weekend format to provide another time slot to expand the field. Two race groups for the S2 class will be utilized during the event, which will include a Last Chance Qualifier under the lights Saturday evening to decide the final few spots for the Super Sunday main event.
Drivers on the waiting list or those not yet signed up may now head to skusastore.com to submit their race entry today. A revised event schedule will be posted within the next few days.
