This last week we were in attendance to the SKUSA SUPERNATIONALS XV, the most important and big race in United States for Sprint Racing, that translate in "European style kart racing". The classes are "sprint" and also do have an additional CIK niche for KZ2 and KF2. So, TAG, TAG Cadet and Moto S1 to 5 classes for the American specialized style, and KZ and KF for fields full of worldwide drivers used to race CIK classes. Excellent show and variety for everyone. Even the "older" driver classes like G1 and TAG Masters allow veterans to compete and teh highest level.
But it has been a very long week. Manuel De Leonibus arrived on tuesday in order to deliver at the track the last items that were requested, and to offer any needed service for KG products. From wednsday morning on it has been a lot of racing, helping, talking and explaning about the latest products. And collecting orders for the future. The paddock was full of familiar faces from USA, Canada, Europe, Italy and many other parts of the words. Most famous manufacturer were present in force and competing. Big presence from Tony Kart, CRG, Intrepid, Arrow, Birel, Top Kart, Italkart (Italian Motors), Sodi Kart as well from other smaller but noneteless very good manufacturers like Energy, EKS, BRM, FK, Margay, WildKart, Merlin, Tecno,DR Racing,GP and many more. Also, noted was the presence of some very effective racing teams - basically specialized in the race service, like Aluminos and Phil Giebler Racing (FA Kart).
The Rio location is always very impressive, not only for the good organization of SKUSA and the lay out of the race track, but also for the many activities and events that run along the week end, culminating on SUPER SUNDAY, with all the race finals, with the award and prize cerimony and well deserved party at the Voodo lounge. In other words it is an event not to miss, not just for racing but for all that it has to offer.
I will try to give a quick glance of it with some images taken while there with the IPhone....
