Galletta’s Greenhouse Racing Team Kart #74
Otherwise known as Frankenfreakart due to the numerous rebuilds, it was once a live-axle/2-wheel-drive racing kart. Joe Hayden originally introduced the kart to our races as the Team OHV Outlaw #5 at Oswego Kartway from 2007-08 (until track operator Jim Losurdo barred our two-in-one division from the Kartway), and raced it in the Clone Division until Dick Dann purchased it from him in 2009. Dick then promptly hospitalized someone via spearing a kart at Frozen Ocean with it, then sold it to Chris Stevens. Randy Platt, Matt Stevens and Wes Stevens constantly tinkered with it until it was adapted to be race-ready at Galletta’s. Now Matt terrorizes us all with it…

Slideshow of the Kart’s History
As explained above, the kart’s history started with us in 2007 (when OHV Outlaw driver Joe Hayden owned and piloted it in our Mixed-Motor Gas Stocker Yard Kart Division at Oswego Kartway). But it was rumored to be an asphalt racing kart prior to that. (If anyone knows, please let us know!)
