Welcome! We are a Karting Club that invented and races extremely affordable 5hp flathead, Single Wheel Drive “Gas stocker” karts for a Points championship every summer at Galletta’s Greenhouse Karting Speedway and a traveling points show at other local area tracks. Hybrid between a yard kart and a WKA kart and built to race anywhere – the cheapest competitive karting series in the world!  Easy to set up, fun to race, affordable to build, and race weekly all summer. We also have recorded weekly dirt karting classes in the Oswego area and make them available on DVD, except one track that banned us because the operator and his crew were getting big-time shown up by karts that cost just a fraction of the cost of theirs. Weak, lame, and juvenile.

2010 – 15th Annual Season Index — Complete Race Rundowns & FULL race Videos

The 2010 Season was one of the best in our racing history. A large group of talented drivers, good friends and family duked it out weekly for one of the most action-packed, closest and excitingly competitive seasons we’ve ever had. How? Out of 21 features ran, we had THIRTEEN different drivers win at least one! Including a handful of 1st-time winners, which is always exciting for EVERYONE. If you look in ANY race class, that is usually next to impossible because one or two drivers always seem to have a leg up on the rest of the field, and this shows PARITY… it shows how close our karts are, and with experienced drivers behind the wheels, it’s going to be hard to get to the front and win. The racing was empirically closer than ever, with no single driver being a dominant factor being unstoppable every week. AND… for the 1st time in our history, a VISITING DRIVER won our ’10 Klassic Championship — Mr. Local Quarter-Midget/Methanol Flatkart King Kyle Reuter, surviving strong bids by Chris Stevens, Matt Stevens and Gary Miller Sr., who all had a really good shot at the 200! All prior Klassics had been won by ONLY the three founding members — Matt, Chris, and Wes Stevens. Chris did net the ’10 Track Championship, oddly with only ONE feature win all season, but finished consistently highest every week. And you can watch the ENTIRE season. Every second of recorded footage that we have has been uploaded to YouTube and is watchable via the above embedded video player AND on each individual race page’s player. Enjoy!
