Jesse Finch, what happened to him, I remember reading about him years ago in the US Speedway mag, and was being touted as the next big thing. Him and another rider who's name escapes me, it was something like Triton Cirello :unsure: Any Stateside fans looking in?

Trinon Cirello - he was 1984 USA Youth Champion (I think that is under 16). I did find his name in a 2005 Industry result but it looks like he drifted out of the sport many years before. It's an unusual name so I suspect the drag racing/motocross entries I found by asking Mr. Google are the same guy. But I found this interseting article:

 

http://articles.latimes.com/1988-07-09/new...35_1_full-speed

 

Now what happened to Greg Hancock? :wink:

 

But my favourite line is:

 

The three are Orange County teen-agers competing in a sport in which the average age is 22 1/2.

 

I wonder what the average at Costa Mesa is now?

Thats him, thanks for that Arnie. In actual fact one of the snaps accompanying the article actually features Greg Hancock lining up at the tapes alongside Cirello.....and the average age at Costa Mesa must be double 22 1/2 these days :wink:

What - No Billy Hamill. :blink::blink:

 

Having re-read the article - it appears that Billy Hamill WILL be appearing. Thought it was odd.
