In his first visit to the track at Valencia, Cruise America Grand Prix Racing’s Jason DiSalvo finished a respectable 11th in a Spanish National 250cc Grand Prix race full of GP regulars and Spain’s best on Sunday, July 15.

DiSalvo launched from the 12th starting position on the grid to be eighth into the first corner. DiSalvo led the second pack of riders battling for eighth before finally slipping back to finish 11th.

“When you consider the quality of the field and this was my first time at this track, I’m pleased with the result. My lap times were good and I was the only non-Spanish rider to finish the race” said 17-year-old DiSalvo in a press release issued by his team.

From Spain, DiSalvo takes his A-kitted Honda RS250 to Most in the Czech Republic for a Czech National July 20-22 followed by a European Championship weekend July 27-29, also at Most.
