The Galletta’s #5 has a long history of impressive wins, including Klassics… and some VERY close calls with even more Klassic wins! Built from scratch in the year 2000, it was originally driven by Chris Stevens, who piloted it to the 2000-2001 Klassic wins along with the 2000-2001 Galletta’s Greenhouse Track Championships right out of the gate. It has won many feature races at Galletta’s Speedway with assorted drivers such as Chris, Kyle Reuter, Rob Jimenez, Joe Sereno, Randy Platt, Matt Stevens, AJ Larkin, and others behind the wheel. Although it ran several races at Oswego Kartway with different drivers at the helm, it never won a race there. It was rebuilt in 2006-07 to be lower to the ground to race at Oswego Kartway and to be less prone to flipping. Often available as a backup, and one of the more successful ones.

The Galletta’s Greenhouse Racing Kart #5 is a Single-Wheel-Drive Racing Kart built in the year 2000, and is one of the most successful karts in the fleet. It was built from scratch by Wesley James “Ogre” Stevens and Matthew Stevens.
It was originally driven primarily by Christopher Galletta Stevens from 2000-2003, who piloted it to the 2000 and 2001 Galletta’s Greenhouse Klassic wins along with the 2000 and 2001 Galletta’s Greenhouse Track Championships right out of the gate. When Chris switched to the #8 (and #4) as his primary karts, it became a rental. It has won many feature races at Galletta’s Greenhouse Backyard Karting Speedway with drivers such as Chris Stevens, Kyle Reuter, Rob Jimenez, and Joe Sereno behind the wheel. Although oddly, despite it being a favorite at Galletta’s, it ran several races at Oswego Kartway with different drivers at the helm, it never won a race there (perhaps because it is very loose and the small track with tight turns and short races does not favor a loose kart).
It was rebuilt in 2006-07 to be lower to the ground to race at Oswego Kartway and to be less prone to flipping.
