Galletta’s 2007 Race #12 : 8/19/2007 45-Lapper:
On Sunday, August 19th, 2007, Kyle Reuter wins a competitive 15-kart, 45-Lap feature, this time in the Galletta’s #5. Chris Stevens was 2nd, and Matt Stevens was 3rd. Ken Lindsey Sr., Missy Berry, and Chris Stevens won the three heats. All in all a great race. Here are pics, video clips, and the updated points!
2007 Volume #12 DVD:
Contains the August 12th, 2007 races from Oswego Speedway at their small dirt track out back, and the August 19th, 2007 races at the large dirt track in back of Galletta’s Greenhouses. 1 hour & 54 minutes.
Below is a preview of this DVD’s contents:
All below pictures and video clips are low-resolution captures from the DVDs. Each DVD shows the full weekend of from Oswego and Galletta’s (often with 2 camera angles per race) in widescreen format (looks great on 16X9 TVs). Each is around 2 hours (sometimes more) and only $3 each. If you want to copy for other karters, then an additional $1 (DVD sales fund this website and weekly DVDs, so thank you for buying!)
Heats
Heat 1 was a rookie-only race. Ken Lindsey Sr. won (though he was warned for passing before the green – you cannot pass until you hit the straight, and next time anybody does it, they will be scored in last place), and he was followed by Buddy Cottom, Ryan Coleman, Chris Kent, and Kenny Lindsey Jr.. These guys have been racing here for the last 3 weeks an are starting to outgrow the rookie status (You outgrow it when you stay out of accidents, and every week they are getting better).
Heat 2 was won by Missy Berry! Considering that she held off fast guns Dick Dann, Matt Stevens, Wes Stevens, and Nick Dann, that is quite an accomplishment! Great job, Missy!
Heat 3 was won by announcer/DVD Producer/webmaster Chris Stevens, who went from last to 1st in 1 lap(Wahoo!)! He was followed by Mike MC Howell, Oscar Berry, and Melissa Gabel. Kyle Reuter was also scheduled to run this heat, but he was in the championship round of a basketball tournament and couldn’t make it in time. He made it in time for the feature, though!
FEATURE EVENT
The 15-kart Feature started off with a bang. Missy Berry led the 1st 8 laps from her pole position, but spun out with Tricky Nicky Dann. This caused a pileup that took out of the top five or so competitors, and sent Ogre flying! Here’s a clip:
Look at Ogre take to the sky! “I thought I was goin’ into space…” said lil’ Wesley!
Chris ChrusherComix Stevens took the lead by evading the pileup and was controlling the event from laps 9-18, when he hit the same pothole that broke his kart last weekend and it almost sent him off the track. This time, however, it wasn’t Matt capitalizing, but Kyle Reuter who took advantage in Chris’s own Galletta’s #5! Kyle pulled away as Chris had to deal with battling Matt and Wesley Ogre Stevens, as they were both after him. Matt even came back from an accident where Ken Lindsey Sr. and Ogre pushed him from behind. Matt still charged back for 3rd before the race was done, but Chris again held him off and Kyle couldn’t be caught tonight. He takes his 2nd Feature of 2007 and 3rd of his young career in the Galletta’s Racing Club, showing he has polished karting skills for someone of his age! Now here is the…
