Racing points championship racing from 1996-current at Galletta's Greenhouse's Go-Kart Speedway Sundays from June-August & Saturdays from September-October, and summer Fridays at Oswego Speedway. We race exclusively with limited-modified 5hp Briggs and Stratton flat-head motors all with affordable 100% stock parts
at Galletta's, & 5-8hp motors at Oswego.
On
Monday, June
22nd, 2009 at Galletta's Greenhouse's at John J. Galletta Memorial
Karting Speedway, Jason "The Hammer" Mills won his 3rd career
feature, and in dominant fashion. The 11-kart, 45-lap feature was
his first win in only his second race back since returning from
nearly two years away from the sport. More about this particular
race can be found
here. It was the first feature race won
in the Galletta's #2 kart since it was beautifully rebuilt before the
2008
Oswego Kartway Classic (the last race before they
banned our affordable 1-WD
gas flathead class for a gas, 2-WD OHV class where only the
track can work on your motor if its not up to snuff).
Here's
some of our action to the race that Jason dominated, compressed to lo-res and just a few race & crash
highlights on YouTube.

Years Racing Go-karts at Galletta's:
2002-current. Jason races when he can, but also has a
family to take care of on limited income, which makes his
race schedule inconsistent and sporadic. When he does make a
show however, he is always one of the hardest-chargers and
his experience makes him capable of winning any race he
enters. This is, of course, one of the strengths of racing
at Galletta's -- we have several potent racing karts
available for nothing but a nominal gas-and-parts fee,
making a good, competitive race possible just about any
weekend all summer and fall! Jason is one of the drivers who
proves this!
Jason crashing & smashing in the Galletta's #6 in the 2004 Klassic, finishing 2nd on track
(to Matt Stevens).
He also finished 2nd at the 2005 Galletta's Klassic, again
only to Matt, a
tremendous feat unequalled by any other visiting competitor
in Galletta's Klassic history.
Career highlights:
One of the longest-running currently active vets at Galletta's. Has won a feature
in the Galletta's #6 and #2. Always a hard-charger, runs a strong groove and always difficult to
pass.
Finishes well in any race that he doesn't break. Fearless
competitor, but work interferes in his race schedule. Led a large portion of the 2005 Klassic and was contending for
the lead before dropping out in 2006. Finished 2nd in both the
2004 and 2005 Klassic (2nd only to Matt on track in both). Jason
is one of the most experienced and skilled drivers at
Galletta's, and he returned to racing after nearly two years
away from the sport.
