WEEDSPORT, NY (September 18, 2023) – For the second consecutive year, Jared John dominated Weedsport Kartway’s PRO Clone Super Heavy James Shutts Memorial, collecting nearly $1,600 for his efforts.
After earning the $100 All Out Customs pole award, John went on to lead every lap of the 44-lap main to join Dan Kapuscinski as the only other two-time winner of the prestigious Super Heavy event.
John outpaced former Shutts Memorial winner Matt Chavis and Trent Curtis through the duration of the event with hard charger Nick Story taking fourth and Justin Pier filling the front five positions.
John was able to pad his pockets even more as he also drove to the PRO Clone 360 win on Sunday, collecting another $1,000 over Tanner Emmons and Seth Whitney.
While he fell short in PRO Clone 360, Whitney managed to sweep his points classes on the day, winning both Clone Heavy and Clone Light.
Nigel Pendykoski and John chased Whitney across the line in Heavy, while championship rival Dave Foti and Paige Smith gave chase in Light.
The Clone Super Heavy points event was won by Curtis over Chavis and John.
Ryan Barry continued his domination of Jr. Red Clone in 2023 as he drove to another win over Lily Walters and Bryson Gill.
Derek Bird topped Jr. Green Clone on Sunday in a wild race over Mason Simmons and Liam Pakenham.
A large field of Jr. Purple Clones resulted in split features with Levi Herriven and Micheal Hugg claiming wins.
Riley Begy would continue his fine 2023 season at Weedsport, sweeping his points races in Jr. Blue Clone and Jr. Unrestricted.
The Slack Karts Super Kart Series presented by Pit Stop Convenience Stores will come to a close with Octoberfest at Weedsport on October 14-15. Two full days of racing will see eight points divisions during each day of racing and multiple PRO events including the $ 2,000-to-win PRO Clone 360 finale on October 15.
