F1 drivers Michael Schumacher, Nelson Piquet Jr...

[kartsportnw]

F1 drivers Michael Schumacher, Nelson Piquet Jr. and Sebastien Buemi will be running at the 2009 SKUSA SUPER NATIONALS in Las Vegas this week along with Drivers from across the USA and around the World. The SKUSA SUPER NATS has become the largest one off kart race in the World and its easy to see why. The TAG JR Class originally had a 40 kart cap but was so quickly filled once registration was opened they bumped the field to 80! F1 Drivers, INDY CAR Drivers are running and many NASCAR Drivers would have been there but the schedule would not allow. Pro Shifter pays $10,000.00 to WIN. So many cool things about this race so keep track on www.ekartingnews.com they will have live radio feeds and check out the Forum as OAKLEY usually posts some really cool videos on the Forum in the General category.

TCKC's own Kurt Fisher will be running in the TAG Masters Class and Dave Manthei will be a tuner for KARTEL MOTORSPORTS/ TEAM TOP KART USA and is slated to tune for INDY CAR Driver Dan Welden.

Dan Wheldon will be driving Tag Sr.

Super Pro should be annouced soon. Also F1 driver Jaime Alguersuari will be driving. There should be more F1 driver attending also, I heard Massa would be.

The enduro looks pretty sweet Joey Hand, Boris Said, Colin Fleming, and Alex Tagliani are all driving that.
