Jesse Vivlemore Castaldo Year Started Racing at Galletta’s: 1994
Fun Facts on Jesse and
Galletta's Racing: Jesse was one of the original
Galletta's Go-Kart racers. He raced with us in the very early
1990s when we only had 2 karts, sometimes alternating between
karts with Chris and Matt. Back then, we had 1-on-1 elimination
tournament races to decide champions because we only had 2
karts. In that regard, he was the 1st unofficial visiting driver
to win at Galletta's, before we counted official records (That
started in 1996, with this website covering them from 2000-up). Jesse raced
periodically through the 1990s, but only restarted racing with us
regularly in 2009, and oddly enough, despite all his years of
periodic racing, his first ever Klassic was the the 2009
Galletta's
Klassic. Because such a
large amount of his early races took place before the 2000
season (the year we started digitally adding all of our records
together), his point totals are a little lower than they should
be on the
All-Time Galletta's Raceway Points List.
Did You Know?:
The Galletta's #0, when newly
donated to the club
in 2002, used to be numbered the #00 for Jesse, in honor of his
favorite driver - Supermodified legend Joe Gosek. However, when
Jesse semi-retired from racing in the early 2000's, it was just
re-named the #0 in order to match the Galletta's Kart
numbers (the first ten Galletta karts were numbered 0, 1, 2, 3,
4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9, although we also have 19, 33, and 80, with
#74 reserved).
