Champ Car Stats lists Orio Trice as a Mexican driver:

Listed Hometown: Rochester, New York
Born: September 21, 1947

Does someone know something about him?

He didn't qualify for the 1981 Mexico Indy...

Orio or Oriol Trice has to be the obscurest of the obscure - it's not as if Google brings up anything about him other than being a one-time Indy NQ. He was definitely there, as there is contemperory reports in newspapers, but does anyone know anything more about him?

Ancestry's U.S. Public Records Index, Volume 1 suggests he may actually be ORLO R TRICE, born September 1st 1947. In 1995 he was living in Buffalo NY, with previous addresses in Rochester NY (ND) and Norcross GA (1993). But which of the four or five entries on White Pages and various other directories is current I wouldn't care to guess!

Interesting... I think the 21st is more accurate - public records often have a habit of putting the 1st of the month if they don't know. I'll try down the Orlo line...

The only information I have come across is that Trice was the president of Motorsports Promotion Groups International, Inc, in 1975, which had a PO Box in Buffalo. William A Stoller was the CEO.
