Colorado in Vegas

[Sheldon Potter]

Howdy – For us rookies here, can one of you guys give us a brief on what this Vegas competition is all about and what the significance of it is?

Thanks!

We started last year and I have been trying to find what S1, S4, G1, etc. mean. I thinks S is for shifter but not sure what the numbers or G mean. Last year when I was looking at what classes were available, I looked all over and never found any documents that show a class structure table online that gave me the answer. Just one thing that was a little frustrating for a newbie.

Sorry about the forum issues… very frustrating. anyway, I am sure someone will explain this better. The letters come from SKUSA, going way back.

G1 is Masters 125 Shifter (I might say that the G is for Geezer, but I won’t)
G2 I think was 125 Shifter Heavy

S1 was like Pro Moto Shifter
S2 Semi Pro
S3 Spec Shifter
S4 I think is Spec Shifter Heavy
S5 is the new Spec 125 Junior

K3 is Novice 80 Shifter
K2 is Junior 80 Shifter

there you go, that’s a start anyway.

I will let someone else explain what the SuperNats are and why everyone is so excited about it.

We went in ’05 (in the good ol’ days before they dropped the K3 out of it). Cole came home with 4th that year, which happened to be the best finish out of all of the CO drivers that went that year! (gotta brag when I can)

You can get all the Supernationals info one could want at http://www.superkartsusa.com/eleven/

The sound system will also be provided by a Colorado native. Matt’s big bro Davo will be providing the awsome sound system and FM broadcast for SKUSA, and Rob Howdens call for the third year.
The “Hour of Power” will be another rockin time this year. He will also be installing the timing loop back to the pre grid area so we can all watch the scoring at real time.
This year the track is being set up completely different from years past at Sam Boyd Stadium. Check out the track design and you can see what I am talking about.
We are working really hard to tie the broadcast into the football stadium so everyone watching from the rim, the preffered sopt to spectate, can also hear the announcements, music and action.

not to steal this thread, but roadrunner which year are the rockies going to win the world series? I want to place my bet now so I can get an awesome return on my money.

So when are the 4 strokes coming in the shifters?

[Mike Jansen]

I’m not going but you all have a lot of fun and race well. With the approval from overseas I think you’ll truly have a world represented SuperNats, kick some serious butts and DON’T take out a fellow Colorado Karter!!!

If you get in trouble I can’t help you after 9PM. That includes you Rick. I don’t want to hear any stories about your neck hurting and you needed a massage. 8)

[Sheldon Potter]

Thanks for the info, gang. Sounds very cool. Although I see on their site that some no-count British kid named Lewis Hamilton, who never went anywhere in racing, participated in 2000 (10/29 piece on their news page). 🙂
