It’s taken from Boxing Day to nearly New Years Eve but the rain in Brisbane finally eased long enough for American Jesse Hockett to win the thirty-lap International Sprintcar Series Feature event at Titan Garages Brisbane International Speedway on Thursday night December 30, although the night’s racing was soured by a freak injury to leading Qld Sprintcar driver Darren Jensen during a Heat race earlier in the evening. […]
Qld has long been hailed as the Sunshine State, a “mecca” for sun-loving tourists, so it’s a little ironic that the wet weather that has beset the Brisbane area over the past week or so has actually allowed time for some American tourists to see the local sites and do their own bit to boost the local economy.

Jesse Hockett’s trip to California looked like it might find him heading home with 5,000 large, but it didn’t end up that way. A rough Friday at the Trophy Cup saw him switch venues on Saturday and head to the Ventura Raceway, where it looked like the top prize would be his. An official’s decision cost him a shot at the win, and this week he’ll tackle the Short Track Nationals in Little Rock aiming at an even bigger $15,000 prize. […]
