The 2005 Season was our biggest Season to that date. We had several drivers from the prior year come back, including a batch of drivers who brought their own karts (good!), but had a different, stronger type of motor (bad). The battle of the 5hp Flathead Galletta’s karts vs. 6.5hp OHV Outlaws began! Mid-way through the season, we started to videotape every single race, and did so from here on out (for now well over a decade), which we also put on YouTube for your enjoyment! Enjoy!

Love the race videos! Looks like a blast!
Nice site. Nice club. I wished I lived closer, I’d race every weekend with you guys and gals. Looks like a ton of fun without breaking the bank like most other race classes do. I would stop complaining about the kid track though… the kids have fun, and if their parents want to spend a few grand to put the kids in a victory pic, let ’em. Build up your own stuff. This site shows you can do it – 20 years now? Wow. Best of luck.
