SKUSA Re-Confirms S5 Junior Stock Moto National Effort
Tuesday, 06 October 2009 11:16
The recent announcement regarding the return of Superkarts! USA to a national level program, coupled with SKUSA’s unveiling of a re-worked class structure, has certainly prompted many trackside and online discussions. Shifter aficionados often look back at the initial explosion of the gearbox categories, which debuted in the early 90s and blossomed at the end of the previous decade thanks to Jim Murley and the Superkarts! USA ProMoto Tour, and wish for a return to form. One of the highlights of the ProMoto Tour was the inclusion of a single class for younger drivers – 80cc Junior – which helped launch the careers of so many current pros, such as Scott Speed, AJ Allmendinger, Robert Wickens, Cole Whitt and Colin Braun.

Just as they have done for the past five seasons, SKUSA is now focused on further developing their Stock Moto program, which touts the package’s limited buy-in and operating costs in contrast to the sky-rocketing prices of ICC powerplants. Along these lines, SKUSA still longs for a solid gearbox program for its Junior level drivers and the S5 class promises even more value than its 80cc predecessor. There is no doubt that 80cc Junior was an expensive undertaking. As engine development progressed, the motors became increasingly fragile with a number of weak points, including the gearbox. Should S5 catch up as the past junior gearbox class did, it would do so without the cost. S5 is simply the Junior version of the proven Stock Moto category, which has become more attractive thanks to the absence of necessary engine modifications and the affordability of replacement parts. And in the end, the young drivers get to shift gears, which has always been the selling point. One only needs to look at the face of a young pilot when he or she gets out of a shifterkart for the first time to see how much they enjoyed the experience. Ear-to-ear smiles are the norm.

EKN spoke recently with SKUSA’s Tom Kutscher to discuss the development of his Junior program, touching on its current status and what the organization plans on doing to fuel its development.
