Anybody have an extra couple of rooms to rent out for the Nationals to an Aussie couple and a single Aussie? My good friend and former Boss, Anthony Loxley is coming to this years Nationals where he is doing another book release with the help of Tony Stewart. Anthony is the former Editor of Seedway RAcing News the Aussie version back in the day of Open Wheel. He is also one of Australia's finest photographers and has produced a few hard table books in the past and is introducing another specializing in Sprint Car Racing at this years Nationals. This came together late hence the late request. Tony is actually a Policeman now so you'll have your own security help as well, lol.
He is coming with a Mate and the Mate's girlfriend and will be out and about most of the time. They are most willing to pay the standard going rate and will make fun house guests with amazing racing stories of their years in the sport. Please either post on here or email me at [email protected] if you are interested, thanks in advance for any help, much appreciated.....

I got an email from someone on the far East Side, I will be contacting Tony to see if that will work and the emailer said he was going to check again with his source, here's hoping......

No more calls please, we officially have a winner that's been confirmed, woo hoo!!! A big thanks and shout out to Aaron Carlson who found some accomodation on the far East Side but around this same time a nieghbor of the track (literally 2 blocks) also came through with a generous offer which My Aussie Mates are taking up. The Aussie folks are over the moon so to speak to have found accomodation so late in the game and with what appears to be a very special family. I am sure there will be benefits to both sides and all around, what a great thing to have happen. Having personally spent about 15 years in Knoxville split between 3 families I am well aware of the kindness and generosity of the locals.
Those of you in Knoxville should have a good opportunity to meet Mr. Loxley either at his Hall of Fame Book release (with Anthony Stewart) on the Tuesday after Osky or in general around the facilities, don't hesitate to approach and I can guarantee you will enjoy all the conversqtion/interaction. All the very best to all involved, Take It Easy......
