Galletta's Karting Club - 2010 Season, Event #5 - Monday, July 5th, 2010:
FEATURE 1 HIGHLIGHT REEL (LO-RES):
11-karts, 60-Laps of bumper-to-bumper action throughout. 
[LEFT] AJ Nason (#89) tries to get under Jeff Tetro (#9) in the 1st Feature. It was highly humorous because AJ jumped the gun twice and had to be instructed that there is to be no passing until the starter sees a good line coming out of 4 and drops the green. AJ just bought the former Dick/Nick Dann Destroyer #68 kart, which Eric Howell re-numbered #89, but it will now become the Hammered #35 after it's trek to Cortland for AJ's wife to help decorate. [RIGHT] Russ Hockey (#00) passes MC Howell (#0) in turn 3 for the lead momentarily before going on two wheels and then falling off the track in turn 4, relinquishing the lead back to MC.
[LEFT] The racing has been so close all season that the drivers starting at or near the front via our handicap system have had the highest percentage of winning. Bumper-to-bumper, passing has been at a premium all season so far, and even the 4-to-15 year veterans have been fighting hard for every inch of track and every point. [RIGHT] MC Howell (#0) fends off challenges from AJ Nason (#89) and Jeff Tetro (#9) in the 1st Feature and holds on for the win.
FEATURE 2 HIGHLIGHTS (LOW-RES):
The top-5 pulled away in a 5-kart train in the 1st half of the race. Here Timmy Galletta peeks back to see his little cousin Matt Stevens swoop low and show a wheel to Russ Hockey, while Chris Stevens looks for a way around his hard-charging brother.
More views of this impressive line of 5-karts battling it out, with Melissa (#19) holding strong against Tim Galletta (#7), Russ Hockey (#00), Matt Stevens (#33) and Chris Stevens (#8).
How close was this finish, folks? Russ Hockey pulled alongside Melissa and took 2nd, Chris Stevens was staggered on Russ for 3rd, and Matt was staggered on Chris for 4th. Tim scored 5th only after he tried to pass Melissa, couldn't get the kart to stick and got trained by 2nd, 3rd and 4th! After a mid-race restart following a wreck between MC and AJ when MC's kart momentarily slowed and AJ pulled alongside of him, (which got MC's temper flared with AJ, but we talked it out and they shook hands afterward), the rest of the pack stayed with the top 5 to make the finish even closer yet! I can't exclaim enough how impressive our races have been this year!
