The United States Pro Kart Series (USPKS) presented by MG Tires and IAME USA East is pleased to announce the addition of Nitro Kart as an additional presenting sponsor.  With Nick Tucker at the helm, Nitro Kart has been making big waves in the cadet kart ranks in recent years.  We are pleased to have the Mooresville, NC based operation on board as both a Series supporter and in the paddock as a top contending team.

Prize Package

Last year’s prize package was certainly a good one, but one thing was missing from the 2017 version, a Winner’s Circle program.  USPKS has some great competition, and they want that competition to keep coming back year after year to defend their titles.  So for 2018, in addition to the great IAME prizes, USPKS will officially have a Winner’s Circle program to encourage the return of the top finishers.  Each Winner’s Circle package has an average estimated value of $2000.  The total prize package is estimated to be worth $50,000.00.

The full 2018 prize package is below:

The Top 3 competitors in the X30 Pro and X30 Junior classes will choose from one of 3 prizes, with the champion getting the first choice.

  1. Ticket to 2018 IAME International Final in Lemans, France, which includes entry, tires, and 3000 Euro credit toward a Team arrive & driver fee.
  2. USPKS Winner’s Circle program, which includes a season entry to the 2019 USPKS, and MG Yellow race tires for the season.
  3. IAME X30 Engine Package.

 

The Top 3 competitors in the Mini Swift class will choose from one of 3 prizes, with the champion getting the first choice.

  1. Ticket to 2018 IAME International Final in Lemans, which includes entry and tires.
  2. USPKS Winner’s Circle program, which includes a season entry to the 2019 USPKS, and MG Red race tires for the season.
  3. IAME Swift Engine Package.

 

The top 3 competitors in the Micro Swift, KA100 Junior, and KA100 Senior will choose from the following prizes, with the champion getting the first choice.

  1. USPKS Winner’s Circle program, which includes a season entry to the 2019 USPKS, and MG Red race tires for the season.
  2. IAME Engine Package (for the class they participated in.)
  3. Single event entry for the 2019 USPKS, and race tires for one event.

 

The X30 Masters will also be eligible for the Winner’s Circle program if the class averages 8 entries per race day.  Other prizes in this class are TBD.

In addition to these prizes, IAME will also be providing parts packages for other top finishers at season’s end, while USPKS will be doing drawings at every event for things such as free tires, gas cards, VP fuel, and more.

New Spec Fuel

In other Series news, USPKS would also like to welcome VP Fuels as the new Official Spec Fuel.  Express Karts and Parts will still be the trackside fuel vendor, but they will now be selling 5 gal. cans of VP C12 as the spec fuel.  Redline Oil will continue to be the Official Oil.
