WEEDSPORT, NY (December 10, 2021) – Weedsport Kartway unveiled its nine event schedule on Friday, which will open with the Super Kart Series ‘Spring Meltdown’ on April 23-24.

The Super Kart Series will continue on Sunday, May 15 with Kart Cup.  As in 2021, Kart Cup will see points racing for all classes alongside the $1,500 PRO Clone 360 Twin 20’s, which will pay a guaranteed $500 to win each twin and another guaranteed $500 to the driver with the best overall finish.
