Bas Kaligis / Wednesday, November 6, 2024 / Categories: International ROK Cup USA and Superkarts! USA expand collaboration into 2025 ROK Cup USA and Superkarts! USA entered a working relationship at the beginning of the 2024 season. The two karting organizations scheduled and hosted back-to-back events in January and February in Homestead and followed up with back-to-back weekends in Orlando for March. The association will continue this synergy for the 2025 season with the first three months of the year featuring back-to-back events. The first month of 2025 will feature the openers of both the Superkarts! USA Winter Series and the ROK Cup USA Florida Winter Tour at the Orlando Kart Center in Orlando, Florida. Both programs return to the Orlando, Florida facility in February for their second stops. “We are excited to continue this partnership with SKUSA heading into the 2025 season,” stated Michael Burrell of ROK Cup USA. “Our 2024 Florida Winter Tour welcomed an increase in entries over the three events from years past. The response from the competitors and teams was positive, receiving feedback from them saving over 30% in costs versus the previous year. We felt it was crucial to continue working together with SKUSA moving forward. It is a great example of what can happen when promoters work together for the common good of karting. Thank you to the staff at SKUSA for their continued cooperation.” The 2025 relationship will expand outside the state of Florida. The series finale for the ROK Cup USA Florida Winter Tour will be held at Speedsportz Racing Park in New Caney, Texas in late March. The following weekend, Superkarts! USA will kick-off the 2025 edition of the SKUSA Pro Tour WinterNationals at the Speedsportz facility for the first time in series history. The remainder of the SKUSA Pro Tour includes a return trip to the Motorsports Country Club of Cincinnati in Batavia, Ohio for the SKUSA SpringNationals in May before concluding the championship chase with the SummerNationals, once again at the New Castle Motorsports Park in Indiana. “Our sport is better when the manufacturers, promoters and facilities all work together,” added Superkarts! USA CEO Tom Kutscher. “We strive to listen to the racers, and saving costs was at the top. Working together with ROK Cup USA over the first three months this past year proved that, and it’s why we are going to continue this venture into 2025. From everyone’s standpoint, it was a success and there was no reason not to move forward with a strong working relationship. We are excited about moving the SKUSA Winter Series to Orlando and making our first-ever visit to Speedsportz to open up the 16th season of the SKUSA Pro Tour.” ROK Cup USA wrapped up the 2024 season with the annual ROK Vegas event, hosted at the Rio Las Vegas and welcomed 227 entries. The Superkarts! USA SuperNationals 27 is slated for November 13-17 at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway and is set to be one of the largest in event history. 2025 ROK Cup USA Florida Winter Tour January 17-19: Orlando Karting Center – Orlando, Florida February 14-16: Orlando Karting Center – Orlando, Florida March 21-23: Speedsportz Racing Park – New Caney, Texas 2025 Superkarts!
