Kristen is a Native of New Zealand and is currently living in the Beautiful Wasatch Mountains of Utah. A Certified Public Manager and a Member of the National Association of Women Business Owners, Kristen runs her own Marketing Company, SKR Enterprises LLC. She also works in Public Service as a Manager for the State of Utah Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control. Needless to say… Kristen works very hard and has achieved many levels of personal and business success.

Suffering from Rheumatoid Arthritis, Kristen has focused the business of SKR Enterprises on the rapidly growing internet sector of Professional Home-Based Business opportunities. This focus accomplishes a variety of the goals of the Company. Primarily, these legitimate opportunities provide, those with disabilities, an opportunity to establish their own Professional Home Based Businesses. There are many legitimate companies available to those who wish to work from home. Kristen is a longstanding member of the Internet Association of Home Business Entrepreneurs. This non-profit organization provides current news, tips and business assistance to the millions of people around the world that are involved in Home Businesses of their own.

A secondary reason, behind Kristen’s Marketing Focus on this segment, is to help to provide opportunities for women and for men to join the growing ranks of Work from Home Parents. Kristen feels strongly about the importance of parents spending quality time with their children and is using her association with SKR Rebel Racing as yet another avenue to promote what she believes to be a more stable home environment for children across the Nation and around the World.

Motorsports Racing is truly a family sport. In Kart Racing, in particular, there are tremendous opportunities for families to join together in support of each others’ racing efforts. One need only to pick up a copy of National Kart News to read of the thousands of young racers, moving their way up the racing ladder with their family’s support. All of us at SKR Rebel Racing are proud to be associated with the top-notch organizations that Kristen supports with her Marketing Enterprise.

Scott is a proud, Lifetime Member of Disabled American Veterans. As an US Air Force Veteran, he is proud of his service to this great Country. Scott is also a Member of the Collegiate National Honor Society, Phi Theta Kappa. This honor was hard-earned through his maintaining a 3.7 GPA throughout his recent return to his College studies. A 10-yeart Veteran of The American Legion, Scott is dedicated to ensuring that all Military Veterans are able to access to the benefits that they have sacrificed to earn. SKR Rebel Racing is proud of Scott’s efforts to assist his fellow Disabled Veterans and fully supports him in every way possible in his efforts.

Scott has a long history of involvement with different levels and types of racing. His initial involvement was, like most other people, as a fan of Motorsports in general. His first foray into getting more deeply involved in the sport was a stint as a “shop gopher” for the Racing Team of David Buratti. David Jr. drove in the Street Stock Division at the now defunct, ¼ mile asphalt, Longhorn Speedway near Austin Texas. When the Buratti Team moved up to the Super Stock class, Scott purchased the Street Stock that he had worked on for the last 3 years as a crew member. Thus he began his racing career as a driver.

From his start as the “shop gopher” Scott’s intense interest, in absorbing every tiny bit of information that he could learn, had led to the position of wrenching on various parts of the motor and chassis and eventually to becoming a member of the pit crew. This experience proved invaluable as Scott began racing his “new” Street Stock. This first taste of racing from “behind the wheel” had him completely hooked on driving and racing in all of its various forms. Scott experienced some early successes and also learned what he refers to as “expensive lessons” in proper braking technique, cornering and door-to-door, close-up racing on a very tight race track. Those lessons and the experience he gained have carried over to Scott’s current racing efforts in the Champ Car Rotax Max Challenge Series.

Although Kart Racing and Oval Track Racing require totally different driving styles and skill sets… Scott believes that his experience and the lessons learned, while working as a crew member and driver on oval tracks is proving very valuable in his rookie season in the Rotax Masters Series. Scott also feels that this has helped to shorten the learning curve, of going from Oval Track Racing to Kart Racing. This will certainly help SKR Rebel Racing to achieve its short-term goals as well as those laid out in our 5 year plan. We are proud to have Scott as our main Team Driver and Team Leader.

Scott’s talents, however, extend far beyond the racetrack. He is an accomplished public speaker, a published writer and poet and has served as Master of Ceremonies for a variety of fund-raising campaigns. During his recent return to College (beginning in 2005), Scott became the host of a radio show dubbed “Scott’s Thoughts.” This show focused on current events, Campus activities, political discussion and sporting events. Scott hosted the show “in-studio” as well as doing some live remote broadcasts from different spots around the Campus.

Scott’s racing goals are set very high. He fits the mold of our Top Team Driver perfectly. Although he is permanently disabled, he attacks the challenges of racing in the same manner that he is working to overcome his physical limitations. Scott has a strong desire to serve as an example to others who face physical challenges. Scott refuses to allow others to try to tell him what his body “can’t do.” Instead… he is using his own racing experience as a proving ground to help others to overcome their own obstacles, which their disabilities have placed in their path towards achieving their own successes. With his great attitude and our Race Team’s over-all passion to succeed, Scott and the rest of the SKR Rebel Racing Team will continue to break down barriers and to achieve our goals.

SKR Rebel Racing feels that Scott is not only an excellent representative of our Race Team… but that he will continue to be an asset to our current and future sponsors.

Rebel is our loyal Team Mascot and is also behind the inspiration for our Race Team’s Name. A Rhodesian Ridgeback by breed, “his warrantee ran out a LONG TIME ago,” as stated by his long-term Veterinarian Dr. Dan Goode at Alcor Vista Pet Hospital. As Karting is often viewed as a “young person’s sport” we couldn’t have found a better example of our team’s drive to overcome, outlive, surprise and survive, than we did with our fantastic Team Mascot and Namesake - Rebel.

Rhodesian Ridgebacks were bread, in South Africa, as lion hunters. These ultra-loyal and obedient dogs did not kill the lion… their task was to “run” the lion until it tired and could no longer run. At some point the hunters would eventually catch up with the Ridgebacks and bag their trophy. This particular breed of canine normally lives a relatively short life. Usually this breed will pass on around the age of 8 to 10 years. Rebel is still going strong at 14. He is somewhat hampered, by chronic hip dysplasia and arthritis, so he doesn’t get around as fast as he once did. However, his loyalty and determination to protect his owner has never wavered.

Rebel has been at Kristen’s Side for 14 years. He is very protective of her and with is giant chest, 90 pounds of muscled frame and his very deep growl/bark, Rebel can be very intimidating. However, the only time anyone has ever seen his “ridge go up” on his back, was at a time that Kristen was threatened by a stranger. Needless to say… the threat went away!

Although Rebel once traveled nearly everywhere with us, due to his age and the effects of all the running he did in his younger days, on his now arthritic hips, he is limited to living out his remaining days as a well pampered giant lap dog! Our entire team is happy to have him do just that. He is full of love and is a very gentle mound of muscle. He watches over and protects all who he knows. Even after he passes on to the endless plains of eternity… his name and disposition will carry on with our Race Team. It is our sincere hope to have a picture of him with our first winning trophy. Perhaps next season, we will be able to take that photo! After all… it is in our team’s goal to make regular podium appearances next season. Hang in there old-man… we will get that first trophy for you! WE BELIEVE!
