WEEDSPORT, NY (March 27, 2024) – With the introduction of heat racing to this year’s Slack Karts Super Kart Series at Weedsport Kartway, junior racers will now have the opportunity to take part in the Precision Racing Products Heat Race Challenge.
All heat race winners, all season long, in Jr. Red Clone, Jr. Green Clone, Jr. Purple Clone, Jr. Blue Clone and Jr. Unrestricted will receive a $25 gift card from Precision Racing Products as well as a heat winner sign to display in their race shop or trailer.
This year’s heat races in all points divisions will be key to the run for 2024 track championships as overall championship points will be awarded for heat race finishing positions, with each week’s main event lined up straight up from the finish of each heat.
