All-Galletta Race!
Name:
Brian Galletta
Castaldo
Year Started Racing at Galletta’s: The mid
1990s. Raced often between 2000-2004, but occasionally since.
Brian Galletta - the only
competitor who has had any substantial prior experience - drew the
pole for the
FIRST EVER ALL-GALLETTA
race - which featured all cousins of Galletta's Karting
founders Chris and Matt Stevens, and also all grandsons (and one
great-grandson) of
Galletta's Greenhouse founder John
J. Galletta. The draw made it very easy for him to use his knowledge of the karts
and track (including a feature win, some heat wins, time-trialing
2nd fastest and and leading a large chunk of
the 2003
Klassic) and dominate all 30 laps unchallenged for the win,
his 2nd career feature win at Galletta's.
Karts Raced: Raced several Galletta's Greenhouse karts
over the years, including the #1, 7, and 5.
The steering wheel on the #1 is permanently damaged and a small
fence in front of the camera tower is forever warped due to some
rather humorous accidents by Brian back in the day thanks to Brian.
Career
highlights:
Won a feature in
2004
before dialysis surgeries to his arm took him out of regular
competition.
(Above) Time Trialed 2nd fastest time
at the
2003 Galletta's Klassic 100,
and led a large portion of the race.
