DRIVER PROFILE FOR
MELISSA GABEL (2007)
Melissa Gabel with the Galletta's Greenhouse #3 at the
Galletta's 2007 Klassic (9/23/2007).
Name:
Melissa Ann Gabel
Nickname:
Mel
Kart:
Galletta's Greenhouse #3, the very first and most legendary
Galletta's Go-Kart. Fun facts about the Galletta's #3: It is her
boyfriend Matt Stevens' backup kart in which he won countless
races between 1990-2006 (including 7 Klassics) in. Matt still
rips off track record times in whenever he tests it. The kart
used to belong to Chris' childhood friend, David "Screw-a-ton"
Scruton, who sold it to a small engine shop, who in turn took a
good motor off of it, put a crappy motor on it, and then sold it
to Matt for a profit in 1990. If Dave knew that Matt was
shopping for a kart back then, he would have sold it to him for
the better price with a better motor and Matt would have saved a
few bucks. The kart has been rebuilt and painted so many times
that it no longer resembles its original neon-green Manco yard
kart form.
Motor:
Briggs & Stratton 5hp maintained by Matt Stevens.
Chassis:
Originally a Manco yard kart, rebuilt by Wesley and Matt Stevens.

Accomplished her
first win in
2007 after 10 of the 13 other drivers in the event either
gave up and/or wrecked in front of her. But she earned the win,
holding off the 3 most accomplished and experienced veterans, Matt, Chris, and Wes Stevens for 2
laps to score the unbelievably exciting victory, further adding
to the lore of the Galletta's #3!
