The last race on the SuperSunday main event schedule is the S1 Pro Stock Honda division. The S1 category began as the premier division for Superkarts! USA and at the inaugural event in 1997, Alex Barron earned the first ever SuperNationals victory. The organization went through changes, as did the sport, before the SKUSA Pro Tour re-ignited top-level karting in North America. S1 has provided the Honda CR125 engine with a platform to be in the spotlight, featuring the best shifterkart drivers from the USA, Canada and around the world fighting for a spot in the history books. This year’s field holds three former class winners, in addition to six former SKUSA Pro Tour champions, other former winners of the SuperNationals, and a two-time karting world champion.

The S2 Semi-Pro Stock Honda category was dropped down to a 44-driver grouping last year, after welcoming larger fields at the Rio, to open the opportunity for expansion in the X30 Master division and the addition of the Micro Swift class. Despite the lower total numbers, the racing in 2016 was phenomenal as S2 remains a class that lines the fences with spectators. Last year’s race was highlighted by a dominating performance from Mathias Ramirez, who was making his S2 debut at the SuperNationals enroute to victory. Ramirez, along with three other podium finishers from 2016, graduated to the S1 Pro division in 2017, opening the door for a new driver to become the 12th different winner of the S2 category at the SuperNats.

Fifteen years ago, on the temporary track outside the Rio Hotel and Casino, the TaG Master category made its debut at the SuperNationals. The division has continued to grow year after year, battling with the difficulties of engine competition while welcoming top talent from around the world. Last year was the first time that the class was expanded to welcome more than the 44 drivers in a single race group, having been the first class to sell out year after year. A record 66 drivers are registered for this year’s X30 Master division, featuring several former winners and podium finishers, along with some new younger names that may spoil the fun for the older crowd. Over half entered were not in the field a year ago, and 16 of them are under the age of 35. Read full story on eKartingNews.com |

The S4 Master Stock Honda category has seen large numbers since it was introduced at the SKUSA SuperNationals in 2006. The class eventually grew beyond the 44-driver mark until last year when the S4 Super Master division was added. Now, the class is experiencing its lowest entry total at the SuperNationals (23 drivers). This downslide in entry is said to be for a number of reasons, all of which revolve around the future of the CR125 in SKUSA competition. That being said, the competition level at this year’s SuperNats in the S4 category is outstanding. Four former winners, four former champions, and a number of podium finishers are back to battle once again in Vegas. Read full story on eKartingNews.com |

Like the Micro Swift category, the S4 Super Master Stock Honda division is making its second appearance at the SuperNationals. From the youngest, we now move to the eldest; the die-hard motorsport enthusiasts who will take on Sin City once again. Last year’s field nearly reached 30 drivers in its SuperNationals debut, and there is a slight decrease for this year. The positive is that nearly half of the competitors are making their S4 Super Master debut at the SuperNationals, and the competition level has certainly increased with the return of entire podium and new names to the division.
