One of the most popular of the Junior Speedway trainers in
the early 1980's was at that time an up and coming Speedway star from
Roseville, CA, called John Cook. John went on to make an international career in
Speedway. Today he lives in Sweden and rides for Smederna, along with team
mate Billy Hamill. Small world, isn't it?
