Jamie Nilsen
Jamie Nilsen form Edgewood, WA will be taking the U-37 Miss Peters & May out on the Columbia River this morning for some test runs.
Jamie, 25, started racing J Stock hydros at age 12. He has since driven tunnel boats, outboards and 1 liter hydros.
JW Myers recommended Jamie as a skilled driver whom he would like to see get some seat time in an Unlimited hydroplane.
Jamie says “I’m excited and honored to have this opportunity, and I’m flattered J-Dub thought of me. I am glad he’s doing alright, but I wish this was under different circumstances.”
