Galletta's Greenhouse Racing Team #33 - Galletta's Karting Club

NEXT RACE:

This Sunday at 6:30pm (Unless otherwise noted to the right. Subject to change based on weather, track conditions, and driver attendance.)

SCHEDULE: We race every Summer Sunday and in late August, we switch to every Fall Saturday. When we have possible weather issues and/or driver scheduling conflicts, we will occasionally race on Fridays or Saturdays during Summer (and on rare occasions, weekdays). Due to our greenhouse, early summer we race after 6pm, but as the summer goes along, we can race in the late afternoon. Regular driver attendance will dictate the exact dates and times. Contact us for more info. Our Point Season Finale - our annual "Upstate New York Karters Invitational 200-Lap Galletta's Backyard Karting Speedway Klassic" is scheduled for a late September Saturday annually.

HOW TO RACE AT GALLETTA'S (Enter your own kart, or rent a kart).

This season we raced Summer Fridays (with occasional Saturdays or Sundays). Date & time is subject to change due to driver availability (if we have more than 8 drivers, we race, if we don't, we'll re-schedule. With 23 karts on site, we don't run with less, as it isn't an accomplishment to race in or win anything less if you're an adult.).

Again, events may be preemptively re-scheduled or postponed due to weather and regular driver availability, but we NEVER miss a week of racing - unless we don't have enough drivers , so come on up! Spectators are free and racers donate nominally to the track and karts to race. Stay tuned, and navigate through our hundreds of race pages dating back to the 1990s and YouTube videos dating back to 2007!

Race with us!

DONATIONS / FEES / RENTAL KARTS:
Arrive-and-drive karts may be rented. Rental donation is bare-bones, covering gas and parts wear only! Galletta's operates on a nominal "donation fees to keep the track ready and karts running. Anything you can donate to the track and karts helps. We also allow drivers to race with us provided they agree to sign a waiver, and the land owner allows recreational karts to run under the New York Recreational Use Statute.

We run 1-wheel-drive gas flathead motors with some racing enhancements all done on site.

Bring your own kart:
- $5 donation to enter your own kart (donation to Matt for his track work, donation waived if you bring multiple racers to rent). If Matt or Wes works on YOUR owned kart, please give him MORE than this $5 bare bones tip. It's worth it, as you will NOT find another karting division ANYWHERE where the top driver and mechanic will help you have a kart capable of beating them on any given race day for so little.We LOVE racing, and we sacrifice our own karts by helping our friends, relatives and total strangers to compete against us!

Galletta's Team Kart for Regular Event (40-70 laps):
We have over 15 arrive-and-drive karts on-site, all competitive feature winners and waiting for drivers to pilot them.
- Regular Driver / Returning Veteran: $20
- Newbie Driver / Rookie Driver: $25
Ask Matt about a full-year membership rental, or rent a kart with your own motor/drive system, which would be considerably less than weekly AND have that kart reserved for you every week.

Galletta's Team Kart for Regular Event (200 laps + qualifiers):
Klassic rental will be more. Contact Matt, as deals can be made, depending on how many laps you run and if you don't break the karts!

We can help you build your own Galletta's-style kart for only a few hundred dollars. From time to time, some drivers sell their Galletta's-style karts for $200-300 as well. You will NOT be able to spend that little on a competitive, feature-winning kart in any other karting division around. Period.

Spectators:
- Spectators are free to watch! (But stay safely away from the track!)
- Pose with a kart and be counted in our points race via 1 lap? Free! Just ask!

The above countdown is usually updated as soon as news breaks (rain-dates, postponements, reschedules, etc.), so pay attention to this sidebar.

If you have not raced with us before, you are welcome to join! We have many arrive-and-drive karts available, and you will not race with a more talented karting group, empirically proven on this website (and erased from the local pay track website because of how good of a show we put on for bottom dollar)! Even if just a lap to earn points, or race in a newbie qualifier... give it a shot. 99% of the time, people love it! 2014 will now have membership, which will help regular drivers race the full season. Contact us.

Galletta’s Greenhouse Racing Team #33

Matt Stevens’ Galletta’s #33 was built with the sole purpose of punishing all who dared race him on either Galletta’s or Oswego Kartway. It has done so.

#33 dominating the Oswego Kartway Classic

Galletta’s Greenhouse Racing Team #33: The “Silver Bullet #33” was built in late 2006 by Wes Stevens under the careful instructions of Matt Stevens to punish all who dared race him on either Galletta’s or Oswego Kartways. It promptly won its 1st race out of the gate before it was even painted. Matt has won MANY races in it at both Galletta’s (including the 2007-09 Klassic 200s), and Oswego Speedway’s Dirt Kartway (including the controversial 2008 Oswego Kartway Classic, which he DOMINATED and was passed at the stripe by his father under a presumed–or purposeful?–yellow flag). Matt splits most of his races between this, his trusty old #3, and other karts in the Galletta’s race team fleet, but he is the #33’s only driver (he doesn’t want anybody wrecking it).
