Our "Away" track: Oswego Kartway!Welcome! We are a Karting Club that races affordable "Gas stocker" karts for a Points championship every summer at Galletta's Greenhouse Backyard Kartway and a Gas Stocker division at Oswego Speedway's Clay Kartway. Please read on and learn more about our extremely affordable brand of highly competitive racing!

 Oswego Kartway 2008/05/08 Gas Stocker Heat 1
Several members of the Galletta's Karting Club raced in the Gas Stocker division at Oswego Kartway on May 8th, 2008.
2007 Defending Champion Matt Stevens won the 10-kart heat & feature. Pictures, video clips, stats and descriptions coming within the next few days!

Team Galletta's - Chris & Matt Stevens at the '07 Oswego Speedway Gas Stocker Classic
The Galletta's Go-Karting Club was founded by brothers Matt and Chris Stevens in the early 1990s
when they modified yard karts for racing purposes. They are the inventors of "clockwise gas stocker kart" racing, and have a 13-kart race team that includes several backup karts available to be rented and raced at both Galletta's and Oswego Speedway all summer. Above pic by Pinner.

Due to the fact that the karts are so affordable and the oldest veterans have been racing for nearly two decades, it is the most difficult karting division to win at. You can't outspend your opponent due to our stock-only rule, so you must out-race them. In fact, nobody has ever defeated Matt & Chris and stopped them from scoring 1st & 2nd in a points season, though hundreds of people have tried in hundreds of races since the early 1990s. Prove your skills against the winningest karters in the local area! We dare you to try! Sound like fun? Read on, explore the website, and join us!

Galletta's Go-Kart Speedway from Space
Galletta's Go-Kart Speedway is a 0.133887 mile dirt oval and can be seen from outer space! The home of the "Clockwise Gas Stockers" since 1990, the karts take the track between 15-17 seconds per lap which averages around 30 mph (probably 45-50 mph top speed in the straights). Our gas stockers also have more ground clearance than your average methanol racing kart, enabling us to navigate slightly bumpier tracks than our more expensive counterparts, have comparable times and more competition for a fraction of the cost. We are a hybrid class - not quite yard karts and not yet the exceedingly expensive methanol kart, yet every bit as experienced and competitive as the more expensive racing classes. Thanks to Google Earth for this Spring 2006 photo.  More->



Oswego Speedwayay 2007 Gas-Stock Kart Classic 50:
 Oswego Speedway Classic Weekend - Dirt Yard Kart Division Top 3
On August 30th, 2007, Chris "ChrusherComix" Stevens won the Oswego Speedway Classic Weekend's Dirt Stocker Kart Classic 50 in the Team Galletta's #8. His father Wesley Ogre Stevens took 2nd in the Galletta's #4, and his brother and mechanic Matt Stevens got 3rd in his Galletta's #33, making a clean sweep for the originators of "clockwise gas kart" racing. Matt also clinched the Oswego Gas Stocker Championship of 2007 with his 3rd place finish, and won half of the shows at Oswego and Galletta's, winning both titles. In fact, Galletta's brought most of the 15-kart show! You can build your own gas stocker, or can rent one of the Team Galletta's backups and race at Oswego or Galletta's.
