FALL CHALLENGE TWIN-30s at GALLETTA'S on OCTOBER 24th, 2008:

Yet another Fall Challenge Twin-30 Race Night was held on Friday, October 24th, 2008, as they are very popular with all active drivers because it gives a reset and a chance for potentially two winners per night. On a special Friday Night show (to avoid the predicted rainfalls on the weekend), Chris Stevens won the first 30-lapper in his trusty old Galletta's #5, and Nick Dann won the second; his first feature ever at Galletta's to add to his first feature ever at Oswego earlier in the year, and it comes in the Galletta's #7.

This means 6 Feature winners in 6 Fall races at Galletta's! Can't get any closer competition than that! And no weighing down winners, no allowing bigger motors, and no whining and fighting either! Wow! Oh, BTW, this race is also named, "The Gary-Miller-Said-'I'm-Done-Because-I-Don't-Know-How-To-Fix-My-Gas-Stocker-Nor-Can-I-Afford-To-Race-Them-For-Free-Anymore-So-I-Will-Race-WKA-Asphalt-Road-Course-Karts-Because-I-Can-Certainly-Afford-Them-And-Also-Fix-And-Maintain-Them-For-Cheaper-Than-Free-I-Looked-Into-Them-And-They-Are-Cheaper-And-Easier-To-Maintain-Than-Bullshit-Lollygag-Around-Galletta's-That-Matt-Doesn't-Make-My-Own-Kart-Fast-Enough-For-Me-For-Free-Anymore-So-I'll-Sell-My-Stripped-Frames-For-$400-And-Steve-Gioia-Told-Me-That-Galletta's-Ain't-Allowed-At-Oswego-No-More-Because-They-Are-Too-Dangerous-For-That-Track-And-Russ-Hockey-Is-After-Me-Tryin'-To-Wreck-Me-All-The-Time-So-I'm-Gonna-Punch-Him-In-The-Face-That-Sonovab***' Twin-30s." Wow, that was a mouthful name of a race! :-D

 

The first feature saw Melissa Gabel lead the half the race in her Scissors N' Fur/Galletta's #80 kart after Larry Phillips and Nick Dann crashed in the lead. However, unlike last week, Melissa's kart was ill-handling, and Chris Stevens passed her midway and pulled away to lead the rest of the show in his Galletta's #5 kart to score a win. Nick Dann scored 2nd (in the Galletta's #7), Matt Stevens (Galletta's #1) got 3rd, Russ Hockey (Hockey #00) got 4th, Dick Dann (Dann #68) got 5th, and Larry Phillips (L&K #04) got 6th, and Melissa Gabel scored 7th in her #80.

 

The second feature saw Melissa Gabel AGAIN lead the half the race in her Scissors N' Fur/Galletta's #80 kart. However, Nick Dann was flying (again in the Galletta's #7) and broke out into the lead. Matt (this time in his Galletta's #3) and Chris Stevens (#5) followed in hot pursuit, and although Matt attempted several passes, he was unable to get Nick, and Chris then sealed off Matt. Matt was unable to pass both Nick and Chris, which Nick scored his first career feature win at Galletta's to bookend his win at Oswego earlier this season. Nick Dann scored 1st (in the Galletta's #7), Chris Stevens scored 2nd (Galletta's #5, Matt Stevens (Galletta's #3) got 3rd, Russ Hockey (Hockey #00) got 4th, Melissa Gabel survived a late-race flip when her tie-rod bolt came loose and scored 5th (in her Galletta's #80), Larry Phillips (L&K #04) got 6th, and Dick Dann got 7th (after the Dann #68 broke down - broken spoiler and broken drivewheel hub - and he finished the race in the Galletta's #4). Now, we can look at the...

 2008 Fall Challenge Karting Series at Galletta's
After three events between 10/12/2008 and 10/24/2008:

Rank	Name & Karts Piloted	Total Points (Place)	Average Points Per Event	Events Attended	Features Raced	Feature Wins
1	Chris "Chrusher" Stevens (Galletta's #5, 4)	526.50	175.50	3	6	1
2	"Mighty" Matt Stevens (Galletta's #3, 2, 1, 33, 9)	513.50	171.17	3	6	1
3	Melissa Gabel (Galletta's #80)	486.50	162.17	3	6	1
4	Russ Hockey (Hockey #00)	458.50	152.83	3	6	1
5	Larry Phillips (Phillips #04)	402.50	134.17	3	6	0
6	Nick Dann (Galletta's #7)	326.50	163.25	2	4	1
7	Dick Dann (Dann #68, Galletta's #4)	319.50	155.25	2	4	1
8	Gary Miller Sr. (Galletta's #0)	172.50	172.50	1	2	0
9	Gary Miller Jr. (Miller #24)	128.00	128.00	1	2	0

Side-note: Chris has been racing with (and won this race with) the same exact motor that Ryan Coleman stopped racing with mid-season because Gary Miller told him (and his mom and friend JP) that it was a 'slow motor' and Ryan fell for it. Ah, that's our Gary! Chris proved how fast it is being the only pull-away winner so far in this Fall Series (so far 6 Feature races and 6 different winners, and Larry came VERY close to winning one as well).  Again, on a side-note, we prove whiney, self-proclaimed outlaws and outsiders wrong by buying "OUT-OF-PRODUCTION" motors on ebay for $20-150 and making them race-winning-fast with just a little sweat and grease! ;-)More about Gary: He ain't happy until he lies and badmouths us to everybody he knows, and often to people that he himself speaks very poorly of behind their backs as well, like he spoke poorly about Ryan to all who cared to listen the weeks before. Talk about gratitude for all the free help Matt gives him with his karts! {:^/

Now... where are these nine active karters on...
 THE GALLETTA'S KARTING SPEEDWAY
ALL-TIME POINT STANDINGS?y

The Galletta's Kart Club 2008 Volume #18 & 19 DVD set - THE 2008 GALLETTA'S KLASSIC & FALL SERIES!:
At the GALLETTA'S GO-KART SPEEDWAY on a crisp and cool Sunday, September 21st, 2008, we held the 13th Annual Galletta's Kart Klassic 200!!! Two angles of the 200 lapper, the first in Galletta's (and possibly all) karting history. Also includes the Fall Challenge Series races on  October 12th, 2008, October 19th, 2008, October 24th, 2008, and November 2nd, 2008. Price $10.

---

Come on out! There is no other organized race club in the area can you race your own kart for free, help you work on your kart when you need it, or rent a competitive, race-winning kart for $15 (for 50-60 laps on our large track), and have full points records back nearly a decade. Don't be a driver that either never tried or worse yet quit after a couple of races and miss all of the extremely affordable fun. Nothing can beat the speed and competition for the price anywhere in the world. Nearly 200 different drivers in nearly 200 events since 2000 can't be wrong.
