Featured RED-E Driver: Justin DeMars

Justin DeMars, AKA "The Bandit" is 8 years old from Sandy, Oregon. Justin got his first go-kart in September 2007 after a trip to the beach where he drove a rental kart for the first time. He was hooked! He spent one year racing a kid's kart gaining experience and a lot of seat time before moving up in spring 2009 to the Junior 1 Animal class. What started out as a year to learn and gain more experience quickly turned into a chase for the championship. When the 2009 Oregon State Championship Karting Series season ended Justin finished in 2nd place just 1 point behind the champion. What a great finish to his rookie season. With the 2010 season set to start mid March Justin is ready to set the standard for this year's Oregon State Kart Championship.

Justin and his parents would like to thank all his sponsors and supporters Andrew Murray Motorsports, Cleveland Auto Repair, CMC, Dave's Performance Karting, Freeborn Racing, Lovely Tire & Wheels, Rick Leathers Auctioneers, Sandy Auto Body, Truckstell NW, Winn Racing, Ray Knight, Marilyn Dove, Arlen & Kathy DeMars, Rick & Jane Leathers and all the family and friends that have supported Justin. Without you all this wouldn't be possible.
