You would have a difficult time getting Bill W. to say anything bad or negative about anyone. He has far too much class and rises above the crap that some of us unfortunately get involved in. If he wasn't so honest, dedicated and straight forward he might someday make a good politician. I can honestly say that he would be a good fit one day to run Knoxville Raceway, Take It Easy....

"First and foremost we have a commitment to our patrons, track sponsors and owners to provide them with entertaining racing at our venue..."

How are they going to do this? "...and the best way we can do that at this time of the year is to run a number of major shows..."

Admission: $27 AUD ($24 USD)

Oppfan - If you agree with their formula for success and providing entertaining racing, I'd think you'd be even more appreciative of Knoxville. K'ville has special shows in spades with admission for nearly every event for the year (except 2 WOO & Nats) between $15 and $25.

Congrats to jesse lester! The fans down under will definately not be disappointed. I'm pissed though, we were actually going to have him around on Christmas for once. HAHA GO get em rocket

You are arguing that Outlaw teams choose their drivers based on what gets said on the Internet? Even for this board, that is quite a stretch.

Compared to other sports, that is cheap $23 is norm for a Club meeting

I want to grow up to be just like you Jesse!!!! You're my hero. Good luck and kick some a$$ down there! Show'em what Warsaw has to offer.

A class response from one of the best in the business!!

Best of luck down in Oz Mr. Hockett. Show them how it's done.

I am lucky enough to work at one of the best tracks 
anywhere.

Jesse Hockett is a great driver and a real gasser. He is one of the most versatile sprint car drivers in America if you look at his resume. He wins in wing or nonwing cars. I doubt if there is a racer with anymore desire and passion than Jesse Hockett. I'm surprised that he has not caught the eye of the Nascar or Indy owners. He deserves his shot as much as anybody. He has had some impressive runs this year. The IRA race at 34 Raceway in West Burlington, Iowa in May was one of them. The IRA 410 guys are very competitive and some of the Knoxville guys were there too. The Rocket spun or got caught up in a yellow, went to the tail and drove the wheels off the car to place 2nd behind Johnny Herrera. He was worth the price of admission that night. Schedules and things change. Give Cody a break. He is going to be a good one too. Good luck Jesse.

I'm happy the sprint car fans down under will not be short-changed on this swap. A good deal for all, but I'm hoping an Aussie driver (or NZ) will pick up most of the money in the next two weeks. Maybe Robbie Farr or Max Dumesny, not sure of Tatnell's schedule but him too for sure. I have had a very warm and soft spot in my heart and mind since formr PM John Howard gave that speech a year ago or so, in which he said "radicals" were not wanted in his country---I'll stop at the word radicals. Very damned few leaders in the world dare call out this certain group. Heck, the world doesn't even dare print funny cartoons about these radicals. Sorry Donny Schatz but going for the someone else this winter, but represent North Dakota well.

Adding $6 trillion of debt in his 1st term and now if 
elected again he wouldn't have to worry about an 
electorate in 2016 so the sky is the limit.And his EPA 
would continue to put the screws to oil drilling and 
mining for coal.Can you say bankruptcy.

My opinion is that Cody Darrah and family made a wise decision to focus fully on the rare opportunity offered by KKR.

I am also quite sure that Jesse Hockett will do an admirable job in his place and will come away with legions of new Aussie fans. They are gonna love Jesse's stand on the gas, live on the edge driving style "down under".

One suggestion for team USA, challenge them boys down there to take the wings off one night and battle it out slideways!

"Aussies can stop crying", say what, a foul is a foul, you ever heard of the movie "The Ugly American" starring Marlon (my son never killed that girl) Brando. Thought he was dead.

Lawlessness + liberalism = HELL -  NYC, Detroit, Chicago, 
Seattle, LA  Who the H runs those cities. 

Cody is a great young man. I think the referance is probably more toward the shrewd business man Joe is in placing Cody at the right events with proper support and bringing on temporary sponsors for certain events. I call that smart. Cody has a real charismatic appeal and perfect for attracting major sponsors and throngs of fans. The fact that he is young and a good driver adds to Kasey also being a shrewd business man. All the pieces fell in the right place for Cody with a huge help from his father and I wish them all the best. When this kid hits the tour you will see excitement from the younger generation and that is a good thing.

Sometimes you guys are too modest,(usually doesn't last) its a win win for everyone.

Australia gets a complete racer, Cody gets to be pampered, and you get to audition a little.

I guess thats a win, win, win

Oh and I hope you have no "bad luck"!
