 Coming off of another successful edition of the Pro Tour, Superkarts! USA turns its attention to completing the regional programs for the 2011 season before heading to the famed SKUSA SuperNationals in November. Next weekend will be a smaller version of a Pro Tour event when the ProKart Challenge South and North programs collide for the third running of the West Coast Shootout. The top drivers from both regional series – and those along the west coast – will travel to the Buttonwillow Raceway Park in Buttonwillow, California on August 12-13 to compete on the #1 circuit layout in the counter-clockwise direction utilizing the kink.
Originally scheduled a week later for the Santa Maria Karting Association facility on the grounds of the Santa Maria airport, SKUSA was placed in a difficult situation and forced to move back to Buttonwillow, the site of the inaugural showdown in 2009. While bragging rights will be earned, so will championship points toward both regional programs. For the South series, the PKC Shootout marks the sixth and final stop on their 2011 schedule, with many championships on the line. The event will be round five for the North series, with their finale set for Atwater in September.
A battle to the end will be in the S1 Pro Stock Moto category, sponsored by Extreme Karting and Leading Edge Motorsports. Four drivers will wrap up their season-long battle with the South finale in Buttonwillow. Brad Dunford – a recent first-time Pro Tour winner and three-time PKC South feature winner this season – has just a 30-point advantage in the overall point chase over defending champ Clinton Schoombee. Peter Abba and Ryon Beachner, each on the podium throughout the year, are right there with the best five results of the six races to determine this year’s champion. Throw in the mix the North competitors Jason Toft and Brett Buckwalter, and the weekend’s results and championship chase is uncertain.

You couldn’t ask for much more when it comes to the excitement that is building for the 15th edition of the Superkarts! USA SuperNationals. Despite the fact that the race is still over three months away, three classes have already hit their current maximum entry of 40 drivers and more are closing in on this pre-determined target each day. Only a limited number of classes can be extended to more than one race group, due to time constraints in the weekend schedule, and those opportunities are being used up quickly. It is certainly encouraging for the future of SKUSA that it is the youngest drivers who are filling the current rosters, as both TaG Cadet and TaG Junior have both maxed out, each also building up their waiting lists, which signals the potential of expanding the grid to 80 competitors in each class. TaG Master has also topped the 40-mark for Vegas, continuing the momentum that SKUSA has created with the class on the Pro Tour, which enjoyed greatly increased fields at both the SpringNationals and the SummerNationals in 2011.
“We’re extremely excited by the influx of entries that we’ve been processing over the past month, and it’s certainly an interesting indication of where we are seeing growth in both our SuperNationals program and SKUSA as a whole,” comments Tom Kutscher, Superkarts! USA CEO. “We’re thrilled in knowing that TaG Cadet will very likely hit the 80-driver mark, and the full grid of TaG Juniors will be great as well. The fact that we’ve already sold out TaG Master is also a huge deal for us. I can’t wait to see how the Master field lines up for next year’s Pro Tour as well, as I hope we’ll be getting everyone out to play in 2012. We’re having a great time with the class this year!”
