ben finemore? im no sprintcar follower so am not really keeping up with the times but just going through the nz champs entrants i see he hasnt entered. havent actually heard anything about him for a couple of years now at least. it just seems that since he beat alan wakeling at the nz's he seems to have disappeared off the face of the earth. was a talented driver

Going from the version I was told,that crash he had when the wing stay entered his helmet gave everyone in the family a pretty big scare and his confidence was knocked around a fair bit. Be enough for me to step away and say thanks very much for having me. A sad loss to the sport from a talented young lad.  |

He had a drive in the two seater sprintcar at Bay Park to scare his girlfriend. (not sure if it was before or just after xmas.) He suggested he was off to Oz to live.
Ben carried on racing after the wing stay accident. He had another big accident on the last lap of the Nationals when held at BP. This crash caused major damage, including engine, and other than the two seater ride hasn't been seen since.
