Galletta's Super-Yard Karting Speedway!Welcome! We are a Karting Club that invented and races extremely affordable 5hp, Single Wheel Drive "Gas stocker" karts (a homemade hybrid mix between a WKA racing kart and a conventional yard kart) for a Points championship every summer at Galletta's Greenhouse Karting Speedway and formerly a Gas Stocker division at Oswego Speedway's Clay Kartway. We can race in conventional carting tracks or backyard speedways. We also record weekly WKA dirt karting classes in the Oswego area in addition to our own and make them available on DVD! Join us racing by either building your own or renting one of our team backup karts. You can also just watch in person, or by buying our DVDs. Please read on and learn more about our extremely affordable brand of highly competitive racing! Race competitively (not just last place) for a few hundred dollars per year!

THE OSWEGO KARTWAY 1-WD GAS STOCKER ALL-TIME WINS LIST:
Through the 2006, 2007 and 2008 seasons (After every "Gas Stocker" - right-turn, gas motor with supposed "box stock motor" rules - event held at Oswego Kartway from 6/23/2006 -thru- 9/4/2008). This class was the only division (other than the "Opens") at Oswego Kartway with two different motors, an odd rule enforced by Jim Losurdo. Red Text = gas 6.5 horsepower Overhead Valve motor with Animal parts; Black Text = gas 5.0 horsepower flathead motor with shaved heads.

Above the Oswego Kartway 1-WD Gas wins. Total points are on this webpage.

Key:
* = Includes a two-way tie for Feature Win.
Red = Majority of races in larger/un-inspected "OHV" motor. All others in FH 5hp.
Pictures = Raced in at least one race recently, or a videotaped event.
Profiles = Regular Drivers and Klassic Competitors have driver profiles (Click on highlighted pictures).

NOTES: Most of the above list is mixed-motors from 2006-08, however, there was a split into two motor divisions during the 2008 season when the 6.5hp OHV "Outlaw" karts used Animal upgrades and spiked fuel, and the "Galletta's" 5hp flatheads used Dyno 94-SS cams to combat the unexpected and unapproved change (that the track operator allowed the Outlaw team Animals without approval from the Galletta's team). After this point, the class split into two (as wanted since 2006, and what lost Oswego several drivers from our family-and-friend/affordable-oriented club because of the apparent bias against us) only 5hp Gas Stocker events were counted in this points series, as it is the Galletta's-Legal motor from 1996-2009, while the Gas Animal Outlaws ran their own, separate races (not counted here). Also, James Losurdo banned our class before the 2009 season (an inaugural class which supported the track since its inception before most other classes were even there, despite unfair bias and no enforced rules) in favor of a box stock clone class (ironically enough, we were replaced with what we tried to be - box stock motors - while Jim told us to "make your motors faster at any cost or lose", and when we did speed up our karts, he banned us. What a two-faced loser.), so these stats are final. No Clone class is counted in these stats, as they are post-Galletta's Karting Club's Banishment from the track by Jim Losurdo. We will never be back at that track as long as that operator - the most biased, unfair, belligerent, anger-prone, two-faced, backstabbing, grudge-holding, immature, stubborn, temper-tantrum-throwing, and unabashed cheat-happy man we have ever met - is completely gone from that track, no matter what motor or chassis type that our club adopts in the future (and it probably will be a box stock OHV, probably clone, but it remains to be seen after our 5hp gas flatheads finally are phased-out, which has not happened yet).

This list is complete between 2000-08, but it does not contain a few things:
1. The 1995, 1996, 1997, and 1999 points seasons are currently not digitally filed and not included for the time being. However, with only having 3-4 karts, only Matt, Chris, and Wes Stevens scored wins during these seasons, and only an occasional friend or relative joining us for a few races here and there, their inclusion is not as important as the 2000-and-up series as above where we had more karts and drivers on track and visitors actually winning (Chris, Matt and Wes were not beat all through the 1990s and only  defeated each other). If the stats to the 1990s are are found, they will be added in at a later date.
2. Some names could not be digitally transferred correctly or completely, as some were signed so illegibly, that they could not be read. Some of these cases have incomplete names or nicknames only. In rare occasions, some names were not recorded at all. If you are aware of any errors, or you are one of these people with missing, misspelled, or incomplete names, please contact me and I'll repair it as soon as possible. Either way, unless you want to bring an illegal motor to race against us or crashed purposefully and asked for your money back (you know who you are) we want most of the above (probably 97% of you) racing with us, so come on back!
3. Since races are often longer nowadays (the karts are sturdier and break down less than 1995-2005), newer drivers (2005-up) often have higher points-per-race averages than older drivers. This means that although they may have less races, they have ran more laps, as the Galletta's Points Scoring System rewards more points for more laps. The bigger the race, the more points to be scored per race. If you want to score well , then you come often, but if you only come to one, come to the Annual September Saturday 's Galletta's Klassic Championship.

Engine rules:
1993-2004: Every go-kart entered in the Galletta's Karting Speedway and points system from 1993-2004 was a 100% box-stock flathead (FH) 5-horsepower Briggs & Stratton motor that runs on gasoline; all racing parts and alterations were  forbidden. All chassis are Single-Wheel Drive, clockwise-turning racing karts. 2005-up allowed hand shaved/milled heads (see below changes and controversy). No internal or external racing modifications, nor shaved heads.
2005-up: Since the middle of the 2005 season, rules had to be altered each season to compete against drivers who brought larger 6.5hp OHV motors and entered our races, sometimes forcefully by other track operators. For this reason, we allowed shaved heads, racing rods, some "non-slapper" race cams, and a minimum weight before banning the motor from our races entirely to keep costs down and competition equal and friendly. The entire story, including what is and isn't legal in a Galletta's Gas Stocker Kart event are found on the newly updated Galletta's Go-Kart Racing Club's rules page.

What is a Galletta's Go-Kart, AKA a Single-Wheel-Drive "Gas Stocker" Kart? Read here!
Gas Stockers?

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 5hp flathead 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. Invented with specifically "gas stock 5hp motor" rules so that a person doesn't have to spend thousands of dollars to race in extremely competitive racing events, the class grows in talent and competition every single year. Join us by building your own kart for around $500 or rent one of our team karts on Summer Thursdays or Summer Sundays in Oswego, NY!
