Galletta's Karting Club

2025 Regular Season… A Constant State of Delay…

The 2025 Season is tentatively set to begin sometime in June, July, August, September 2025.

June 2025: Due to track operator / kart mechanic Matt Stevens having a lot of greenhouse work ahead of him (the winter season of 2025 has been EXTREMELY hard on the greenhouse roofs) along with the usual issue of not having a track work vehicle (please contact us if anyone has one in mind for us to either buy or partially barter for), races will need to be planned out in advance with active drivers (contact us with interest). July 2025: We have finally made progress (thanks to Eric Woolworth for ussing his truck for track work) to hold a few races and have had interested racers. However, a slow greenhouse season has greatly reduced Matt’s time for kart/track work, as he is forced to water more. But even more than that, for the second year in a row, another extremely large tree branch blew down onto the track and we are looking into safe and affordable ways to take care of it.

August 2025: YAY! Thanks to two Matts — Matt Stevens (who chipped away at it) and especially Mat Bob (who got the biggest problem area down) — we can finally go racing for the first time in 2025!

We were looking at Labor Day weekend between Oswego Speedway Classic action) and Matt was initially aiming for Saturday, August 30th, 2025. However, Matt was too busy with his greenhouse and family duties, and along with no drag, we were unable to race.

***NOTE*** ANYONE WHO CAN DONATE/TRADE/SELL OUR CLUB A VEHICLE FOR TRACK WORK, PLEASE CONTACT US! SINCE MATT’S OFF-ROAD TRACK WORK VEHICLE WENT DOWN, WE HAVE NOT HAD ONE AND MATT CANNOT WORK ON THE TRACK IN HIS SPARE TIME LIKE HE USED TO.

September 2025: Despite not getting in a regular season race thus far, we aimed to hold our 200-Lap Klassic on Saturday, September 27th, 2025. However, Matt *STILL* needs a work track vehicle (contact us if you can find us one, it does *NOT* have to be road worthy, just be able to drive around our track). If we can get one, we may be able to get more races in before or after that date. ATV, lot truck, anything! But it happened. It *FINALLY* happened…

SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 27th, 2024 – THE 28TH RUNNING OF THE GALLETTA’S GREENHOUSE KARTING KLASSIC 200-LAPPER!

Yes! We got our 200-Lapper in! This page is under construction, but here is what we have so far…
