DRIVER PROFILE FOR
OSCAR BERRY (2006-07)
Oscar Berry
with the Berry-Mobile #11 at the
Galletta's 2007 Klassic (9/23/2007).
Name:
Oscar Berry
Name:
The Flyin' Oz
Karts:
The Berry #11 and Berry #M11. Has driven Galletta's rental karts.
Years Racing Go-karts at Galletta's:
2006-2007. Retired from Galletta's in 2008.
Raced in more races and scored more points than any karter in
Galletta's Points History that could not get at least one
feature win. Retired from Galletta's Backyard Karting Speedway -
the track and race club that got him into kart racing -
and then joined gas OHV classes and then berated
Galletta's. Joined the Clone class and never again raced at
Galletta's, despite everybody at Galletta's liking him, helping
him, and enjoying him racing with us.
However, his streak of never winning, his equipment always
breaking, and always getting mad at someone else has never
ceased no matter what class he drives in.

Racing Facts:
Often starts well, then runs into bad luck or mechanical
failures that take him out of any quality finishes. Has a
mind-boggling mastery of spinning out all by himself directly in front of
people and getting mad at that person if they hit him, or having dozens
of mechanical failures nearly every race and blaming it on the
countless motors he blew. Has more hysterical flips and wrecks
than almost every driver in recent Galletta's Karting History.
Career highlights: Time-trialed well in 2006 Klassic.
Always runs well in the high groove. Seeking first feature win. His
daughter
Missy
was a regular competitor before also retiring to only
periodically race at Oswego.
Fun-Facts:
Oscar's family always helped flag at Galletta's, which we are
entirely grateful for. His wife was always a nice woman who
helped us greatly via flagging. However, we felt betrayed how Oscar stopped
racing with us, verbally attacked us when we have always been
nothing but nice and helpful to him, and joined a group (where
at least one even mocked his driving skills behind his back
before). (Although on the bright side,
and since he did stop racing with us, it did lead to our
races finishing MUCH faster - due to less yellow flags and
repair-timeouts...) All kidding aside, our jokes at Oscar's
expense are only because we (as in most of the Galletta's
Karting Club drivers) felt betrayed by him stopping racing with
us and accused us of breaking rules (nonsense, as many would
always note how Oscar was always handicapped at the front of
starts and he always had some very fresh, strong motors only to
blow them repeatedly when nobody else was blowing even far older
and weaker motors!) to ONLY race with people who never followed
any rules when they raced us.
