KC Happy Hour

TONIGHT! It's time for a community discussion!



We go over news from the past week, including:

- MORE 2022 USPKS Updates

- The announcement of the 2022 WKA 206-Only Series

- Results and Thoughts on Rounds 1 & 2 of the RTX Winter Trophy

- Preview Thoughts on the 2022 Challenge of the Americas Opener this weekend in Tucson, AZ



More importantly, we are going to take a deeper dive into the current oversaturated and undersaturated karting regions in the US. Rather than piling on negativity, in the wake of /another/ new series being announced, we'd rather give some constructive criticism on how and where the sport could really use some support.



Joining the regular cast tonight will be none other than former track GM, coach, tuner, shop owner, and industry member Dan Schlosser. More guests to be announced as we get closer to showtime!

We've got special guests Miguel Ruiz of JaM Racing and Jake French of PSL Karting joining the gang as go over a host of topics!
- The final location revealed in the 2022 STARS Championship Series
- USPKS's 2022 Stance on Pushback Bumpers
- THE 206 Controversy from FWT Pompano Beach
- A final debrief of Opening Weekend from the SKUSA Winter Series
- A full debrief of FWT Pompano Beach
- An update on ROK // X30 Masters Driver Miguel Mier
- and a lite preview of Round 1 of the Challenge of the Americas in Tucson!

Join us LIVE as go through all of the above and more with the featured special guests joining Ryan Norberg, Brandon Jarsocrak, Connor Zilisch, KC's Caleb Smock, and Xander Clements!

Time to debrief!

Returning guests Chris Wehrheim and Austin Osborne join the cast again as we go over what went down in Miami for Rounds 1 and 2 of the SKUSA Winter Series!

We'll also preview ROK Senior and ROK Shifter for this weekend's opener of the 2022 Florida Winter Tour in Pompano Beach, FL.

A day late, but hopefully not a dollar short!

FEATURED GUESTS: Race Factory USA's Race Liberante, and KC's own Aaron Hachmeister, Jenna Thome and Caleb Smock!

Join the crew as we recap what was nearly 7 days of Florida racing between Daytona KartWeek and the Inaugural CKNA WinterNats, preview the upcoming SKUSA Winter Series Opener at Homestead, and more.

MAN, did we miss a lot of news over the last two weeks! From the removal of pushback bumpers in the SKUSA Winter Series, more updates to the AMR Motorplex curbs, to USPKS announcing it's final track location -- it's been a busy holiday break!

Tonight, the regular Happy Hour Crew is kicked OUT! Just kidding, Xander is still going to be on. But it's time for Driver Evaluations from 2021 and Predictions for 2022 in Pro Senior and Pro Shifter!

We'll be bringing on a host of renowned industry members and driver coaches to make up tonight's panel, including Crosslink Competition's Sean Owens, GFC Karting's Sonny Cervelli, along with Rolison Performance Group's Artie Carpenter and Luke Selliken!

It's time to relive the 2021 National Season AND dive into 2022!

Hear from the cast and crew along with a special guest (or two) give their thoughts on the drivers, events, and tracks that shined or didn't shine in 2021. We'll also be going through the 2022 calendar as it now has only a couple of TBA locations left on it, and we'll be breaking down what we are looking forward to most.

Not to mention, the veterans will be breaking down their thoughts on the upcoming rookie class advancing to Senior and Shifter!

With SKUSA SuperNats 24 done and dusted, it's time to talk about it! Join the regular cast -- including X30 Pro Senior WINNER Ryan Norberg -- and a couple of TBA special guests tonight as we go back through all of the major storylines from the weekend. And there were plenty!

PLUS: We've got some onboard footage to show of the first laps laid on the newly reconfigured AMR Homestead-Miami Motorplex, site of the unofficial opening weekend to the 2021 National Pro Season with the SKUSA Winter Series Rds. 1 & 2 in January.

All of this and MORE to come Tonight at 8 PM EST // 5 PM PST!

We've got BIG NEWS to drop tonight! *And no, it's not SKUSA SuperNats related, although we'll definitely be recapping the updates as we know so far.

We've also got the original crew back together to start the Vegas trash talk a few weeks early, with all 5 drivers on the entry list for X30 Pro Senior.
