“We always try to pull out all the stops,” explained an excited SKUSA principal Tom Kutscher. “The SuperNationals is the pinnacle of North American karting, and we wanted a purse to reflect that in 2023.”
In addition to the cash purses for the classes above, X30 Senior and KA100 Master class winners will be awarded a custom 1-off BRM Chronographs timepiece. BRM has been a longtime partner of Superkarts! USA and have supported the SuperNationals for over a decade. Racing and time go hand-in-glove with one another, and BRM’s Frederic Gasser is enthusiastic about the continued partnership.
“We love collaborating with the grassroots levels of motorsport and doing exciting things in karting,” added Gasser. “Watches and racing are the perfect combo, and we always enjoy recognizing and awarding the future stars of the sport with a unique prize.”
The (2) watches will be awarded to the following:
BRM Watch 1 – X30 Senior Race Winner
BRM Watch 2 – KA100 Master Race Winner
If that weren’t enough, SKUSA is also pleased to have other partners offering their own contingency prizes, in conjunction with the above.
RLV will offer a ‘Cash For Your Chain’ contingency prize. The winners of X30 Senior and KA Senior will each be awarded a $500 cash prize if they’ve won the main event using an RLV Xtreme HPC or Xtreme O-Ring Chain on their kart. RLV will have representatives verifying compliance in the post-race tech inspection.
Lastly, the winner of the Micro Swift category will be awarded a brand new MyLaps TR2 Go Transponder. This transponder does not require a subscription and has a $460 value.
