PROKART CHALLENGE RELEASES SCHEDULES AND CLASS STRUCTURE

New streamlined SKUSA class line-up to make debut in 2010

TEMECULA, CA (December 2, 2009) – When the new year comes around the corner in January,
Superkarts! USA will see the first two of their five regional series come back to life in California.
The ProKart Challenge North and South programs will be the first to get back into the swing of
things, and they will be greeted by a slightly evolved class structure that will better support the
organization’s Stock Moto program. In this communication, we will announce the 2010 schedules
for both the PKC North and South series, as well as present the class structure that will run with
each series. The class line-up will also be supported by the debut of SKUSA’s new licensing
system, which will provide better driver positioning heading into the future.

The ProKart Challenge South series will be the first to get back to business, launching the 2010
campaign at CalSpeed Karting on January 29-30. Subsequent events will take the teams to an
additional six venues, including Willow Springs, Grange, Buttonwillow Raceway and Santa Maria.
The following is the six-race ProKart South schedule for 2010:

2010 Pro Kart Challenge South Schedule

Round 1 – January 29-30 – CalSpeed Karting
Round 2 – February 26-27 – Willow Springs Kart Track
Round 3 – March 26-27 – Grange Motor Circuit

The ProKart Challenge North program will again base its competition at the Jim Russell
International Karting Center, which is located at the famed Infineon Raceway in Sonoma, CA.
The drivers will make one trek south to the Central Coast region for the annual PKC West Coast
Shootout at Santa Maria, which will pit the North and South drivers against each other in head-to-
head competition. The following is the six-race ProKart North schedule for 2010:

The beginning of the new year will also bring an evolution of the organization’s class structure, as
well as the debut of a licensing program that will help manage the access that new drivers will
have to the faster categories. The adjustments to the class structure are minimal, and are all
designed to better present the Stock Moto classes into a graduated ladder system.

At this time, a total of three local options classes will be included in the ProKart Challenge
programs. In the South, the PKC will include both the KF2 and S4 Magnum classes should
sufficient interest be displayed. Drivers wishing to contest these classes are asked to contact
ProKart Challenge headquarters to confirm their intent to be part of the program this year. In the
PKC North series, the HPV2 Junior drivers will again be invited to be part of the series. As with
the local option classes for the PKC South series, interested HPV 2 families are asked to contact
Patti Kutscher to confirm their intent to support the series with their participation.

The opening round of the ProKart Challenge South may still be 60 days away, but during the next
two months, the new SKUSA Licensing Program will be put into motion. The initial application of
the licensing program will be simple and will require no effort by a vast majority of the
membership. All existing PKC drivers will be given their respective licenses, with Senior class
competitors receiving a ‘B’ license and Junior drivers obtaining a ‘D’ license. Using these levels
as a base, competitors interested in running in a higher category will need to apply for a license
upgrade through the SKUSA head office. This application will focus on past performance and
conduct and will be applicable only to drivers wishing to run S1.

The following description is designed to provide a basic overview of the SKUSA Licensing
Program ahead of the release of a full program description, so that racers will know if they need
to apply for a license upgrade. There are four license levels: A, B, C and D. The ‘D’ license is
reserved for all Junior competitors in the ProKart Challenge program, while Novice Senior drivers,
those will little or no experience, will start out with a ‘C’ license and will be eligible to run in S3,
TaG Senior and TaG Masters only. Senior drivers with a minimum of two years of experience will
be given a ‘B’ license, which will allow them to run in any senior class other than S1, which
requires an ‘A’ license.

The primary focus of attention will be on qualifying drivers for the S1 category for 2010, which will
be restricted to Expert Stock Moto drivers. S1 and S2 are the evolution of the past S3 class, and
any existing drivers must apply for their ‘A’ license to be accepted into the new S1 class. All
current S3 competitors will be automatically eligible for S2. Any drivers who are new to the
ProKart Challenge and/or SKUSA program will need to apply for either the B or A license if they
wish to compete in S2 or S1, respectively.

For drivers whose SKUSA memberships are current through past the opening PKC rounds, your
appropriate licenses will be noted on your file, while new members will be required to download
and complete a License Application Form (PDF format) from the ProKart Challenge website,
returning it to SKUSA via fax or e-mail (scanned copy). At that time, SKUSA officials will
research the performance notes and will make their decision on approval.
