| At
18 months of age, Jason DiSalvo was first introduced to motorcycles
by his father – veteran racer Jim DiSalvo. Jason immediately
took to speed – entering his first race at the age of
four and quickly finding a home atop the podium in flat track
racing. Jason’s championship flat track career is documented
below, but the truly amazing show was put on when Jason tried
Grand Prix motorcycle roadracing for the first time at the age
of 14. One year later – and much sooner than traditionally
done – Jason was elevated to expert status. Armed with
this, Jason won more than half of the races he entered in 1999
and finished on the podium in more than 80% of that same year’s
races. He received licensing that permitted him to run in The
UK and Czech Republic – both with strong finishes. As
of this publication, Jason holds the world record as the youngest
American competitor to ever race in an FIM sanctioned 125 World
Grand Prix race. |
