WEEDSPORT, NY (July 22, 2021) – The 4th annual James Shutts Memorial for Clone Super Heavy racers will again take place at Weedsport Kartway in 2021 and for the first time will return to its original Twin 22-lap format on Sunday, September 19.

In 2018 and 2019 the race was conducted in a Twin 22-lap format at Oswego Kartway, before running a single 22-lap run at Weedsport in 2020. This year, the Twin format returns paying $222 to lead at the halfway mark and $722 to lead after 44-laps.

The Twin 22’s will also see the introduction of the ‘Weedsport Wheel.’ After 22-laps the race leader will spin to determine how many drivers will be inverted for the second 22-lap run. As many as six drivers could be inverted for the race to the finish.

Clone Super Heavy at Weedsport Kartway is open to drivers 15 years and up. Driver weight must be at least 200 lbs. with gear, with overall kart weight set at 400 lbs. The Burris 33 is the mandatory tire. Weedsport’s weekly one-set tire rule will not be in effect for this race.

The Twin 22-lap segments will be run consecutively, with all karts stopping on the front straightaway for the ‘Weedsport Wheel’ spin and a break to be determined. Racers will be allowed to change air pressures, make chassis changes, gear changes and change oil during this break. The same set of tires must be run for the entire 44-lap distance.

The total purse for this year’s event is already over $2,500 with the goal of surpassing $5,000. If interested in sponsoring this year’s event contact event promoter Dan Kapuscinski at dkapuscinski00@gmail.com.

The September 19 program will also feature the second round of the Slack Karts Super Kart Series, highlighted by all eight weekly points’ classes and a $500 to win PRO Clone 360 event. Drivers competing in the Clone Super Heavy James Shutts Memorial are not required to compete in another event.
