Visitor’s #15 Kart

Barrelin Bortel #15: Barrelin’ Brian Bortel brought a converted yard kart to our races in 2005-07, first a blue & yellow and then purple #15 later on.

Barrelin’ Brian Bortel had a sharp-looking #15 kart and won a few races with it. Then… disappeared.

Bortel turned his poor finish and barrel-roll flippin’ struggles in 2004-05 into some impressive wins at both Galletta’s and Oswego Kartways in 2006 before he inexplicably stone-cold left the sport in 2007, later selling the kart due to finances.

He claims to miss it seriously, yet never returns, and the whereabouts of this kart are unknown (probably rusting in someone’s backyard).
