Galletta's Karting Club

JUNE 12TH, 2011: Twin 30s were in store for week two of the Galletta’s Greenhouse Karting Club Season. We like them because we handicap the first race via points/wins and invert the finish for the 2nd, always leading up to some excitement. We also like them early in the season to establish more winners and points scored for the season standings. Rookie Joe Sereno won his first feature in his 2nd race he’s ever entered in the Galletta’s Greenhouse #5 kart, while Melissa Stevens took her Scissors-n-Fur #19 back into victory lane in the second 30-lapper. Both features were close and action-packed! Details, pictures, points, and YouTube video below!

Rookie Joe Sereno started on the pole and quite frankly went unchallenged. He pulled away from his brother and fellow rookie Justin Galletta and recorded his 1st career feature win in only his 2nd time out, duplicating an effort by Jared Halstead last year. AJ Nason stalled in turn 2 early and watched for the remainder of the race.:

NOTES: ZERO CAUTIONS! And exhibition in solid, clean racing.

The 2nd feature was started with an inverted finish from the 1st. AJ Nason retired his Nason Motorsports #35 due to a sputtering motor (likely carb or 2-hung-low header), and hopped into the Galletta’s Greenhouse #1 for the 2nd feature. The Galletta’s #1 led the vast majority of the 2010 Klassic 200-Lapper with Kyle Reuter behind the wheel.

Nason led 26-laps until he was pressured by Matt Stevens, and spun out directly into him. As you can see the Galletta’s #7 driven by Justin Galletta also hopped a tire, bending a sprocket, which netted Justin a DNF.

Melissa took the final 4 laps and the race finished as follows:
