Built from scratch in 1998 by Wes and Matt Stevens but using the cannibalized parts from the OLD Galletta’s #1, the blue-and-silver #2 has had a long history of obscurity mixed with triumphant wins. Originally Chris Stevens’ ride, he won the 1999 Track Championship and Klassic using the machine. Significantly rebuilt in 2009 (as all the Galletta Karts were to reduce flips). Often available as a rental kart on most weekends, and always a fast and loose chassis. Has won features when piloted by assorted drivers such as Chris Stevens, Matt Stevens, Jason Mills, Randy Platt Jr., Tom Culeton, Cameron Rowe, Kyle Reuter, Fred Collins, David Hartpence Jr., and countless others.

EXTENDED KART HISTORY

Chris Stevens before winning the 1999 Klassic in the Galletta’s #2!

Galletta’s Greenhouse Racing Team #2: Built from scratch in 1998 by Wes and Matt Stevens but using the cannibalized parts from the OLD Galletta’s #1, the blue-and-silver #2 has had a long history of obscurity mixed with triumphant wins. Originally Chris Stevens’ ride, he won the 1999 Track Championship and Klassic using the machine.

Tom Culeton picked up some wins in it in the 2002 Season, and it was a favorite of the wildman Freddy Collins. Significantly rebuilt in 2009 (as all the Galletta Karts were to reduce flips), it has seen victory lane while being piloted by talented veteran drivers Jason Mills, Randy Platt, and Chris Stevens, not to mention that Kyle Reuter drove it to a 2nd place finish in the 2012 Klassic 200 (with a FLAT TIRE) but rookies (who often rent it) seem to be unable to figure it out. Often available as an arrive-and-drive rental kart on most weekends, and is always a fast and loose chassis. Paint job based on the blue-and-silver Diaclone Datsun Fairlady Z precursor to Generation One Transformers Bluestreak.
