==Early days==
Chitty was born in Toronto, Canada in 1909. Before taking up speedway he worked as an electrical engineer.〔Storey, Basil (1947) ''Speedway Favourites'', Sport-in-Print, p. 23〕
Chitty started speedway racing in 1930 in Detroit, Chicago and New York in the USA, where he was noticed in 1934 by Johnnie Hoskins.〔 In 1935 he came to the UK for a trial with the West Ham Hammers. He was not successful in his trial and was looking for other employment when the West Ham promoter Hoskins gave him another chance five months later, which he took. He was offered a contract by the Hammers. A broken collarbone in 1936 caused a long layoff, and he returned in 1937, scoring moderately well.〔 The 1938 season saw a considerable improvement in his racing, Chitty winning the Opening Cup and the London Riders' Championship, both at New Cross.〔 Chitty also served for a time as chairman of the Speedway Riders' Association.〔
