The United States Pro Kart Series (USPKS) presented by IAME USA East and MG Tires is proud to announce the addition of X30 Masters to their racing program for 2018. Series owner, Mark Coats, was contacted by multiple veteran karters and teams, asking to have the class added to the USPKS program. After confirming the demand, the decision was made to include this group into the program.
IAME X30 Masters
Age: 30+ years old or 15+ if driver over 200lbs
Engine: IAME X30
Weight: 400lbs.

Coat commented, “The Masters level drivers have indicated that they are looking for more racing opportunities in the East, and they are anxious to try the push-back bumper and the added racecraft that it requires. The USPKS is happy to host this group and are optimistic that it will spark a renewed interest in Masters level racing.”
Season pre-registration is now open on the series website, through the end of January, and the Masters/Heavy category has been added.
