NoFenders.com Is a Proud Supporter of Up and Coming Kart Racer Jamie Skitch

Jamie Skitch, a 9-year-old Kart racer, got his start in the "Arrive & Drive" rookie program at Cameron Motorsports Karting Complex. After successfully completing the Robert Wickens Diving School in 2006, Jamie really made his mark in his rookie year with 9 firsts, 2 seconds, and 3 third place finishes. Winning first place overall in his weight class, Jamie was awarded "Rookie Of The Year", and offered a scholarship to compete in the 2-stroke 60cc class on the Hamilton Regional Karting Club's 2007 Canadian National Team. Along with this came the invitation to run in the Sunoco Ron Fellows Karting Championship for 2007.

Jamie has started his 2007 season off with flying colours. In only the first 8 races, he has already shown promise by moving up from 8th to 6th place. In a field of 13 racers most of whom are 2-3 years older, Jamie keeps himself mid-pack by running lap times of 1m .4 seconds, on a 1.5km track. A healthy diet, hard work, and lots of track time, are what will help keep this racer on the top of his game.

Jamie does have the chance to run in the 60cc class for another 3 years (9-12 years) which will give him the time to concentrate on, and perfect his skills in the hopes of becoming one of the H.R.K.C. top contenders. For a small, but mighty, 57lbs, Jamie is really thriving in this fast paced world of Kart Racing.
