We race customized “1-WD backyard racing go-karts” every weekend from June through October on a dirt track behind Galletta’s Greenhouses in the Town of Oswego, New York, USA. While we’re mostly just a bunch of friends and family having some competitive fun, we’re always looking for more drivers to join us, and have arrive-and-drive karts on hand if you want to try it out!

  • – Every Summer Sunday Night (JUN through late AUG)
  • – Select Fall Friday Evenings or Saturday Afternoons (Late AUG through OCT)
  • – Winter-Spring Closed (NOV through MAY)

RACE SCHEDULE:

  • NEXT RACE: 2024 Season Opener — Scheduled for a Sunday in June 2024! Hope to see you there!

10/28/2023 – The 26th Running of the Galletta’s Greenhouse Go-Karts Klassic!

For the 1st time since 2020, we accomplished another Seasonal point Finale Klassic! This year, due to excessive repair time and disintegrating track conditions, the race was a 70-lap Shootout — that included some big track guest drivers such as Tyler Thompson, and Logan Crisafulli — a little shorter than our ideal 200, but we got it in! Raw video is up, and points coming soon — so stay tuned to this page!

Sorry, I’ve been behind — a combination of being busy with work and family functions, a long stretch of having not enough drivers to run, and the website developing some behind-the-curtain issues that took some time to resolve — but I’m catching up! Stay tuned:

KEY:
* = Ran in a Makeup Points Heat Race (and scored in last place in an event that the driver missed).
Hyperlink = Driver has a Galletta’s Racer Profile.
ALL-CAPS = Drivers started every race event this season.
(R) = Rookie; 1st Season at Galletta’s.

NEXT RACE:

Races are always late afternoon/early evening, and check in to be sure. And, remember, as always:

  • Driver attendance: At least 3 visiting drivers are required to hold a race for the bare minimum of 6 (we always have 3 home drivers every event).
  • Weather dependent: Some rain is good for the track, but too much (or not enough) isn’t.
  • Timing: Check the start time with track and kart operator Matt Stevens. Summer starts tend to vary between 5-8 PM, Fall starts tend to vary between 2-6 PM. Don’t come too early (and leave mad about waiting too long), and don’t come too late (and make other people mad waiting for you), but check in with Matt! 🙂
  • Unexpected Returning & 1st-Timer Drivers: Please arrange in advance to ensure the kart assignments are arranged and we don’t start the race too late. We always welcome new drivers, but please plan ahead!!!
  • Summer we prefer either Sundays, but starting in late August, Sundays will be impossible (Chris & Rung Stevens’ work schedule). Starting then, we are more open to scheduling races on Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays, or *LATE* Sundays (Like Midnight. So no, probably none. We aren’t in our teens & twenties — we used to midnight race a lot back then).

In the meantime, why not get a refresher on the storied history of our annual Championship Race — including hours of videos from almost every single one since 1999?

What We Do:
We race customized backyard racing go-karts weekly on a dirt track behind Galletta’s Greenhouses in the Town of Oswego, New York, USA. We’re mostly just a bunch of friends and family, but always looking for more drivers to join us!

What We’re About:
Founded in the early 1990s, Galletta’s Karting Club & Backyard Speedway was created to race go-karts as competitively as we can for as purposefully affordable as we can (via rules), using karts that are hybrid – something between a prefabricated racing kart and a yard kart that can race fast and safe on both pay tracks and backyard tracks alike, all the while having drivers that are highly talented and experienced racers WITHOUT spending wars. The original, longest-running, and largest karting class in the area, we are also the easiest to join — we have over 20 equally fast, feature-winning, arrive-and-drive karts and a over the years of hundreds of races have amassed a massive list of hundreds of drivers join into the weekly Summer-Fall races. If you like it, rent, build, or buy your own for a few hundred dollars to join and compete (instead of a few thousand like most pay track classes to take to join and compete, as we CAP the type or parts and prices). And, some of the more experienced drivers at Galletta’s have been racing more than a decade before any of the local pay tracks were built and some have hundreds of more races under their belts. Come race where Kyle Reuter once called, “the Rucker Park of karting.”

When Do We Usually Race?:
Races are scheduled every Summer Sunday (June-August) evening, and then every Fall Saturday (September-October) afternoon (unless poor driver attendance or bad weather forces us to cancel). Exact timing TBA and based on active driver consensus. This is subject to change based on the weather’s effect on the track condition, and driver count. In addition, our schedule is flexible, and depending on weather and driver availability, we can occasionally change to Fridays or Saturdays to beat rain or for a special event. But our go-to dates for racing are usually every Summer Sunday and every Fall Saturday that we can race.

What Do We Race?:
We race mostly custom-built ‘arrive-and-drive rental’ but also allow ‘run-what-you-brung’ karts (classed only by motor type with weight handicaps; our fleet is completely race-modified Briggs 5hp flathead engines, see Matt for details on work done to each motor and what is allowed based on weight and/or experience). Our class is a maximum of 20 qualifiers on track, and we’ve never had too many racers, rather we rarely have enough drivers to fill all of our open karts. Come on up! Keep in touch for more details. Read on to see our twenty-year history of weekly points racing (with COMPLETE race videos and complete rundowns of each season since 1995 – and race from 2005) every June through October in Oswego, NY! Enjoy!
