Friday, 04 July 2008 13:09
They said it couldn’t be done. They were wrong. The SKUSA SuperNationals XII will return to the Rio Casino Hotel in Las Vegas on November 20-23, 2008.

If one were to point to a single race in North American karting as the race of the year, it would be difficult for anyone to overlook the SKUSA SuperNationals in deserving such distinction. For 11 consecutive years, the marquee race of the Superkarts! USA organization has been the pinnacle event of the karting season, drawing a worldwide contingent of the best racers on the planet.

Granja Viana 2007
Thursday, 10 January 2008 17:00
If one were polled to pick a single country that exemplified a passion for motorsport, they’d be hard pressed not to choose Brazil. The country has produced many of the greatest racing drivers of all time, including Emerson Fittipaldi, Nelson Piquet, and the late Ayrton Senna. The interest Brazilians have for motor racing is rivaled only by their love of futbol and that fervor for competition is echoed in the very soul of the national culture. It’s something every fan of racing should witness at least once, and for the Superkarts! USA / MG Tires national race team, that opportunity came this past November at the annual Granja Viana endurance race in São Paulo, Brazil. SKUSA’s man at the track, Chris Ortenburger was on scene to capture the action and flavor of the event. Click here to experience the spectacle with Chris as your guide.

Thursday, 29 November 2007 17:00

The MG Tires / SKUSA national race team is alive and kicking at the annual Granja Viana endurance race, taking place this weekend in beautiful Sao Paulo, Brazil. Drivers Connor DePhillippi, Alex Speed, Brian Eady, and Fritz Leesmann are proudly representing the United States and American karting in prestigious fashion.

DePhillippi and Eady earned a ride to the event as part of their prize package from the recent SuperNationals race in Nevada. Judging by their smiles so far, it was an award unlike any other. The event format is a grueling 500 mile endurance race aboard specially prepared 4 stroke Honda engines. The race is an annual tradition in Brazil and features numerous celebrity drivers, including Formula 1 notables Rubens Barrichello, Felipe Massa and IRL standout Tony Kanaan.

In early timed sessions Team MG Tires / SKUSA is in the hunt - mere hundredths off the fastest time. The young Americans will be vying for the coveted pole position in today’s qualifying session, with the role of securing the top spot in the hands of the ever capable Connor DePhillippi. The race kicks off at midnight Saturday morning and 70 plus karts will be battling for the win. With a little luck from the racing gods, team MG Tires / SKUSA will be fighting for the top step on the podium.
