Ryan's Galletta's
Karting Club highlights:
The Independence Day 50 was held on
July
6th, 2008. Flyin' Ryan Coleman took his second straight feature
of 2008, which was his third feature win at Galletta's since his rookie
2007 season.
Ryan Coleman not only won, but pulled away in dominant fashion for
his most convincing Galletta's karting win to date. Unfortunately,
Gary Miller psyched him out by lying to him and he retired
for the rest of the 2008 season. Odd considering he is one of
the most successful visiting Galletta's Karters in our history
(one of the
best points-per-race and
win percentages of All-Time on our track), was getting
better every week, and we love racing with him.
The Galletta's Karting Club held a Twin-30s night
on
June 22nd, 2008 Races at John J. Galletta Memorial Speedway, both having 11-karts each! And all *gasp* with 5hp flathead motors,
Jimmay! With each feature having several different leaders in
close races all night, it was Matt Stevens and Ryan Coleman that took the checkered flags to both using both great driving skill and a little luck. More details and pictures will come later in the week.
On Monday,
September 10th, 2007, Flyin' Ryan Coleman swept his heat and
the Buddy's Story 40 Feature in the Kelly Miller/Galletta's
hybrid 9-Lives, holding off several charging competitors. Posing
with him is giddy-as-a-schoolgirl Kyle Reuter, who was
absolutely thrilled that the kart, originally designed for him,
actually didn't flip in a race let alone win one. Ogre, under
the tutelage of Matt, can be thanked for the successful
operation on the #9-Lives kart.

Karts Raced:
A few different Galletta's Karts. Currently the only living
master of the Kelly Miller/Galletta's #Super9Lives kart.
Ryan flips the Galletta's/Kelly/Reuter #9. Not
his fault, however, as the kart was cursed before it was rebuilt
in 2008. It now is safe to race.
Fun Facts: Ryan has a lot of racing experience
for his age, and
has raced
the #29 (formerly Limited Super) Small Block Supermodified at Oswego Speedway.

Racing website featuring pictures and information during his
Quarter-Midget days.
