Ed Maynes with the Maynes #43 on 2006/09/23 - Photo by Gene Galletta, Remastered by Chris Stevens.

• Name:
  Ed Maynes
  
  Nicknames:
  Fast-Eddie, Crazy Eddie
  
  Karts:
  Head man of Team Maynes (several karts in his stable).
  
  Years Racing Go-karts at Galletta's:
  2004-2007.
  Ed and his sons retired during the 2007 season and sold all the karts in his stable.
  
  Career highlights:

• One of the top-point earners and winningest drivers in Galletta's Karting Club History.

• One of the fastest drivers to collect a win in Galletta's Go-Kart history.

• Several career wins at Galletta's. Still leads in visitor wins years after his self-imposed retirement.

• Fast and a hard-charger, Ed is always a Feature & Klassic contender (if he stays for the finish, that is. Perhaps his biggest weakness is getting frustrated after a wreck or spin).

• Dominated the early-going of the 2004 Galletta's Klassic 130, lapping several competitors during the first 20 laps, but he raced so hard during the first half of the 130-Lap event that he broke while leading comfortably and could not recover in time, only finishing 4th.

• One win at Oswego Speedway Dirt Track's Gas Stock Karting Division in 2006. He, like many others, refused to go back to the Oswego Kartway after track operators allowed some drivers to use larger (and even race-modified) OHV motors, intentionally wreck then not go to the back after a wreck, and even fight with people just because they were "buddies" with the operators. This may have, unfortunately, taken Ed's heart out of racing anywhere, as he cut down his racing after this.

• Always fast and competitive, but would often take weeks off for unknown reasons, therefore taking himself out of points title contention, as he would be at or near the top if he did not do this. Again, he retired in 2007 despite the fact that he is always fast and always a threat to win any race he enters.
   

Ed Maynes only ran 2 races in 2007 despite racing for much of the 2004-2006 seasons and compiling several wins and a lot of top-5 finishes. However, he got collected in a small mishap during the 2nd heat here and retired for the year. He then sold this kart. Everyone at Galletta's wants him and his team to race a full-time basis and hopes he returns.... after he (1) gets a hold of his temper and (2) stops diddling girls....
