Career highlights:
The most winningest local driver in any known class. Matt has won a combined 52 gas go-kart Feature events between 2002-2007 at Galletta's and Oswego Speedways gas karting divisions, each race containing anywhere between 5-17 karts per event. An astonishing record that hovers around a 50% win ratio!
Galletta's Track Championships in 1996-1998, 2002-2007
(2nd place only to his brother Chris every year not listed).
"Galletta's Klassic" Championship Race Victories in 1996-1998, 2002-2005 and 2007. Only his brother Chris and father Wes have beat him in "Classic championship" races at Galletta's and Oswego.
Countless career Feature victories at Galletta's stock 5hp class since 1992 and Oswego Speedway's mixed-class dirt go-kart track since 2006. Distant career leader in wins on both tracks. Won in several different karts throughout career, including most of the Galletta's karts at different times - In addition to the countless races won in his #3 and #33, he will occasionally jump into a backup that everybody thinks sucks and rejected to then beat them in it just to prove that he doesn't cheat by making his own karts faster.
