WEEDSPORT, NY (October 20, 2022) – More than 240 weekend entries closed Weedsport Kartway’s 2022 season on October 15-16 for Octoberfest 4 with Jared John sweeping the weekend to claim more than $4,800 in winnings.
Traveling east from Elizabethtown, IN, John earned four PRO victories on the weekend including the prestigious Octoberfest 40 in PRO Clone 360, which paid a hefty $2,000 to the winner. With his 40-lap triumph John joins Jeff Chapman, Jeremy Tuttle, Dan Marsden and Josh Hare as the only drivers to win a $2,000 main event at Weedsport.
John backed up the $2,000 win with a $500 score in PRO Clone Super Heavy, another $500 score in the New York State Clone Invitational and a preliminary night win in the $1,000 Octoberfest 30 for PRO Clone 360.
Couple those PRO wins with point victories in Clone Heavy and Clone Super Heavy on Saturday and Sunday and the driver of the No. 8 visited victory lane a total of eight times in two days.
Two Junior PRO main events were also held over the weekend in Jr. Blue Clone and Jr. Unrestricted.
Lathan Good would fly to a $300 win in PRO Jr. Blue Clone, while Nigel Pendykoski earned a cool $500 in PRO Jr. Unrestricted.
Other winners on the weekend included Saturday points victors Luke Holmes (Jr. Red), Levi Herriven (Jr. Green), Seth Whitney (Clone Light), Cullen Hutchison (Jr. Purple), Good (Jr. Blue) and Casey Pietrzak (Jr. Unrestricted).
Sunday points division winners were Holmes (Jr. Red), Herriven (Jr. Green), Parker Allen (Jr. Purple), Dominic Hugg (Jr. Blue), Pendykoski (Jr. Unrestricted) and Tanner Emmons (Clone Light).
On top of his winning ways as part of Octoberfest 4, John also eclipsed his own Weedsport Kartway track record by becoming the first driver to officially clock a lap in the 9-second bracket with a circuit of 9.940-seconds.
