Finch jams to nior win By Scott O.loisio CORONA, CA, JULY 21 . Thirteen-year-old Jessee Finch of Costa Mesa scored an impeccable IS-.point maximum to capture to first of three qualifi- ers for the 1984 Junior Speedway National at Ken Maely's Speedway Research track on Saturday afternoon. Finch, who is .the-defending National junior Champion, took his first ride of the afternoon in event six. There he trailed his younger brother Jayme until turn four on the first cirCuit but once he slipped by, the race was as good as over. For Finch (Speedway Magazine/Oakley/ Arai/House of. Suzuki Triumph/Mom & Dad/Sam Ennolenko) it was just the start of what was to come all day long. His second appearance ended as a half straightaway win over Dave Busby and his third ride was a total runaway to win over Ami Alvarez and Gene Topping. At the same time as Finch was rolling. up vicloOry after· , victory~ lihh Geweel<.lli, wild fiJ\istfetl . 1 second in last year's National, was. doing the same. So was former World BMX Champion Billy Felts. All three were perfect after three rounds. The first showdown of the day involved Felts and Gewecke was in heat 24. It proved to be no real showdown, though, a Oewecke got the gate and the checkered by half a straight. The following heat matched Finch with Trinon Cuello aboard his cut-down 260c Welake. Finch got the gate with Cirello out second. Cirello tayed close until he went down in tum Three allowing Finch to waltz to his fourth win on the day and set up tfie second showdown of the afternoon - Finch vs. Gewecke in event 32. Again it proved to be no showdown as Finch took the wire-to-wire win by six lengths over Gewecke. It seemed to be in the bag and Finch had only one more ride - that one against Felts and Kelcey Gordon in event 38. Finch got the gate only to have Felts surprise everyone when he blasted by in turn four on the first revolution, Finch then retook the point po ition in turn three on the next circuit. Felts stayed close, trying to get by, but the champ managed to take a three-length victory. It was the first step for Fincll to hold onto his Junior crown. ArvJre•• TM Covers it al/!
