In 2008, the then Melissa Gabel (now Stevens) commissioned a kart to be built from scratch by Wes and Matt Stevens. A 100% identical clone to her then-fiancee Matt Stevens’ Galletta’s #33, but with bigger bumpers. Even though the kart doesn’t ever seem to handle quite as well as the #33 that it was a clone of, it still has netted feature wins.
