Round 2 is THIS WEEKEND, and entries are streaming in! We are also still getting
a lot of new SKUSA membership forms, so this should be another GREAT turnout!
See below for some details about this event.

Event Pre-Entry is NOW OPEN: The special online pre-entry package price is
still just $295 for entry and race tires! Pre-register for this race
online before midnight this coming Wednesday, February
27th at www.skusastore.com and save MONEY and TIME when checking in at the
track! You save $83 on your race entry and race tires when you take advantage of
our online registration with your credit card. Plus, you can save time upon
arrival by purchasing all of the other items you need thru our online store --
like practice tires, fuel/oil, a transponder rental, and Friday practice! You
will receive an email confirmation of your entry within 48 hours of submitting
it.

If you prefer to pay by cash or check, we still offer a form you can download,
fill out, and send
in: http://www.superkartsusa.com/dmdocuments/2013_PKC_Race_Entry_Form.pdf. As
long as we receive your form and payment prior to midnight on Feb. 27, you still
qualify for pre-entry pricing of just $115 for your race entry plus the cost of
your race tires ($212+tax for SK's, $203+tax for HZ's). That's a $35 savings
from the walk-up pricing!
