This thread will probably be exclusive to JoeBlo and I since no one else here likes racing and most don't know what a sprint car is.
For those who don't know, a sprint car is a type of race car. It usually has a large wing on type of it that acts as a giant spoiler to create downforce and make it go extremely fast. Sprint cars are often referred to as "the fastest things on dirt". See picture below...
The first thing I would like to ask is strictly to JoeBlo.
Have you ever heard of a sprint car driver named Jesse Hockett? He is a driver from the United States that also drove in Australia for a period of time. He was the western Australia points champion in 2005.
Sadly, Jesse Hockett is no longer with us. He was lost in a non-racing incident on May 26, 2010. He was from Warsaw, Missouri and there were many memorial races for him held all over the U.S. the weekend after his death.
I was lucky enough to get to go to one of the memorial races. I was able to snap the above picture of Jesse's car being driven by another local driver in tribute to him.
If anyone else would like to join in this thread, they are welcome to. I doubt anyone else will, though.
