2005 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 videotaped every race from here on out (for now well over a decade), which we put on YouTube for your enjoyment! Enjoy!
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:
