Career Highlights:

Joe rides some pretty beautiful street motorcycles, and people who ride bikes USUALLY pick up our karting faster than anybody else. And he did, when he won his 2nd feature he ever entered at Galletta’s, and won four more over the next two and a half seasons before he has his first child and semi-retired from racing (and could no longer devote a weekend evening all summer like he once did (a common reason why many great drivers have to stop. DAMN ,we’d have some sweet races if we could get the to come back for a big one!) . Below are his wins and Klassic Profile pics!

Taking the lead in the fairly early going, then holding off challenges from Eric Woolworth and Matt Stevens proved a task not too difficult for our Popeye-armed / Bearded Brawler/ Husky Helper Joseph! More details forthcoming! Stay tuned! READ NOW, SON!

FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 7th, 2012: Also known as, “Now THAT’S A Better Buske! Twin 30s”, we ran 11-Karts in 60-Laps (our new regular-season favorite it seems – two 30 lap features) and had Joe Sereno take the first feature and Matt Stevens take the second. Great racing all around! And now with a helmet cam for some awesome race footage! What’s that you say? You want more? You say, “FEED ME MORE!”? OK, here.

SUNDAY, AUGUST 26th, 2012: Winners of the Sunday, August 26th, 2012 “Anything Joe Can Do, Chris Can Do Better 60” race – also known as the “JUSTIN IS MAD THAT SOME ON THE SHOCK ARE SELLIN’ ASS ALTHOUGH HE’S SELLIN’ ASS ON US! 60” – Joe Sereno won the 1st 30-Lapper in the Galletta’s Greenhouse #5, and then Chris Stevens won the 2nd one in the very same Galletta’s Greenhouse #5. That means that kart has won three of the last races it was in with two different drivers! Definitely a HOT kart right now a month away from our 17th Annual Galletta’s Greenhouse Karting Klassic 200 Championship – and a kart that won two Klassics (2000 and 2001 with Chris Stevens behind the wheel and placed well with several other drivers at the helm)! MORE..

8/8/2012: “One More For Tim” – Mid-Week Twin-30s Joe Sereno & Chris Stevens win! +YouTube

Photobucket is ass.

WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 8th, 2012: To make up for a couple rain-dates we’ve lost and the fact that one of our regular racers is moving south for a while and may miss most of if not the rest of the year, we held a special mid-week Twin 30s night. Joe Sereno FINALLY did not break while leading the race to win the first 30-lapper, and he and Chris emulate Matt’s flexing victory pic from the prior weekend.

2011:

6/12/2011 – Joe Sereno & Melissa Stevens Win the Twin-30s! +YouTube
