IN MEMORIAM:
Sadly, Richard passed away in 2020. While we didn’t know him very well, we were very sad to hear of this news, especially with our hearts, thoughts, and prayers going out to his father Russ, who is a friend and one of the all-time highest scoring drivers in our club’s history.
Name: Richard Hockey
Fun Fact: Son of Galletta’s Kart Club driver Russ Hockey.
Galletta's Backyard Go-Kart Speedway is a free-to-race-on and free-to-watch 0.133887 mile dirt oval with 20-degree banked turns . It is located behind Galletta's Greenhouse in Oswego, NY, and can be seen from outer space! The single-wheel-drive gasoline-fueled flathead motor karts take the track between 15-17 seconds per lap which averages over 30 mph (approximately 45-50 mph top speed in the straights). Our speeds are comparable to alcohol/methanol-fueled karts that cost 8 times as much because we use mostly homemade or rebuilt go-karts and gas on a large track; leading to more karts, more competition, and more fun. Our class is usually the largest and most competitive in the area. Thanks to Google Earth for this Spring 2006 photo. Our karting club's home track is located in back of:
