Name:
Barrelin' Brian Bortel

Trademark moves:
The Barrel Roll

Years Racing at Galletta’s:
2004-2007. Retired in 2008 due to absolutely no extra funds to race anymore despite his love for his kart and racing. Sold his kart in the 2009 off-season to an unknown buyer who probably had no idea that they had a kart that could be raced at Galletta's Backyard Speedway.

Career Wins at Galletta’s & Oswego Gas Stocker Kart Racing Clubs:

• At Galletta's, he scored Heat and Feature Wins (2005 and 2006),

• Scored a Gas Stocker Kart Heat and Feature wins at Oswego Speedway's Dirt Oval (2006).

• Scored respectably at Galletta's Backyard Karting Speedway's All-Time Points.

• Also scored well in Oswego Kartway's All-Time Gas Stocker points.

• Retired from Oswego Kartway when the Kartway moved to Thursdays, further impounded by the outrageously higher fees and Oswego's forced rule changes to Galletta's just flat priced him out.

• This also forced him to retire from Galletta's, as Galletta's adapted our rules to compete at Oswego. Unable to afford the changes, he sold his kart. Then, Oswego booted the whole class anyways. Thanks, Oswego Kartway! (Assholes!)

Karts Raced:
Several different Galletta's Karts in 2004, but just the Barrelin' Bortel #15 since 2005.

Crew Chief: Himself, with occasional assists from Matt Stevens.

Fun Facts: Brian acquired his name by barrel-rolling every kart that he raced with between 2004-2006. He also has been known to deliver elbow drops to opposing drivers that get into him, though the activity is banned and extremely frowned upon. Thankfully, it only happened once (but one too many times for Kelly Miller's taste).

The Barrel Roll & Bionic Elbow Drop of 2005: DO NOT WRECK INTO BRIAN! OR ELSE!!!

Did you know? That although Brian once crashed with and also dropped an elbow upon Kelly Miller of the Galletta's Go-Kart club, there were no hard feelings, as he bought a go-kart off of him a few years later, but then in turn sold to Chris in the 2007-08 off-season!

Mottos:
"Brakes? Who needs f***ing brakes?!"
"I felt that f***er goin' over, so I thought to myself, 'Here I go again, living up to my name!'"
"I was gonna' lay out that f***ing cu*t! F***in' bi*** better get the f*** out of my face."
"The f***er got into me, I had to f***in' break free, so I f***in' hit him. The f***er!"
