2002 Season
2002 Season YouTube Videos
More on 2002: Tom Culeton, DJ Barnes, Dan and Chris Lupa, Dan Allnutt and friends joined us in 2002. Tommy invented a new kind of accident: the Tommy-Gun-Fast-Flip, where he violently and quickly flipped the Galletta’s #2 several times that year and completely bent the frame out of its original form. Culeton also became our greatest visiting driver to date by winning 2 races in his rookie campaign and being a top competitor every race. Tom and friends raced great all year, and thus created our greatest season to that date, but mysteriously stopped the next year, again leaving the trio to groom new competition. This season is the one where we dramatically decreased our kart breakdowns, simply by using large drive wheel tires and thicker gauged drive wheel chain. Matt snapped Chris’ 3-year Klassic and Track Championship winning streak here. Matt was also so dominant, that he took a race off and still won the points standings.
