Event: SKUSA Winter Nationals

Making history this year in NOLA, Birel ART will attend the first Pro-Tour Winter Nationals at the now famous circuit in Louisiana.  The team will host 11 official drivers as part of the PSL Karting Official Race Team with unofficial practice beginning Thursday Morning.  The line up of drivers is quite impressive with many of PSL's top Rotax pilots now participating in the SKUSA events.

In IAME Mini Swift, Justin Arseneau will take to the circuit as he prepares for 3 weeks straight of racing.  PSL's newest Senior, Ryan McDermid will make a return to the Evinco tire package after taking some valuable racing lesson's on Rotax's MAX One Blue.  Also teaming up with Ryan is the Miami based driver, Sebastian Montoya, who has enjoyed a strong year so far in the  Junior category running in top 3 at all 2017 events.  Thomas Nepveu has also moved up a class and transitioned very well, and will try to show the same speed as last weekend's top performance in West Palm Beach.

As the team leader for the young drivers, Ryan Norberg will run in IAME Senior, what is said to be one of the toughest classes in the Pro-Tour this year.  Luis Zervigon will jump on an X-30 Masters setup where he will learn a new style of racing compared to the DD2.  Vatache Tatikian will also run in X-30 masters.

The S2 shifter category will see some new and familiar faces as Gianfranco Mazzaferro continue's his gearbox season, and Jeffrey Kingsley will run a stock Honda for the first time. Long time PSL driver, CJ Cramm, will jump back in the seat after taking some time off from racing.  In S4, PSL welcomes Jordan Musser to the red army!
