I think the bloke's trying to say he's gobsmacked that Rico took the Boxing Day meeting in Auckland, and it's epic that he'll be contesting in Arizona come the New Year.
Oh wait, you said Northern Hemisphere...

Thanks for the clarification. I thought that is what he said but their was too many blank spots for me.

Maybe I mistook the "Left Coast Jargon" for down under. Probably the reason you could make sense of it, you being an immigrant and all from that country..

27,000 Fans in attendance and they said that last week they had 21,000 watching online. I have to think the online numbers were up last night. The production value of the event is incredible and while I don't always know what Aaron is saying, I caught enough to stay awake until 4:30 this morning watching all the "drama on the speedway". Best of luck to all the USA drivers tonight.

W.W.B.K.D. ?

Hi Tim and ALL the other Fans.
Man what a night of racing the track was EXTREMELY Challenging. Not one single driver I spoke to said anything bit "JUST HOLD ON AND RIDE THE RUTS AND HOLES".
DD was doing all he could yet could not make the podium which also confirms it was a tough nignt.
Rico was and is "AWSOME" and really drove a brilliant race now just do it again tonight.
As you said Americans were the best.
Many of the drivers that got taken to hospital or treated at the track are all fine.
However Nathan Smee (Australia) who had a WILD RIDE wont be back tonight as car requires major work but we wish him well and hope he is back for the rest of the Internationals.
It was so tough my Sons struggled all night in there cars.
Leon Burgess is an up and coming racer who is going from strength to strength he just needs more seat time AND better luck to avoid traffic.
Hopefully powers to be will tidy up the false restarts and cautions.
Remember get there early for a good seat.
Weather is absolutely brilliant.
The only other negative is the poor sound system.
I have to agree Aaron (Announce} is regularly hard to follow yet let alone whats about to come out of his mouth next.
Well I cant keep writing as we have a huge amount of work to do.
The rest of December right thru to mid February is the busiest I have ever seen in New Zealand with major shows on nearly every right thruout the Country.
PS: The American, Australian and New Zealand top competitors and Test team members that are doing Chilli Bowl have to fly back to the USA early January before heading back to NZ AND AUSTRALIA to contest the POWRI WORLD SERIES.
See you tonite or watch it live.

Austin speaks a different dialect than we did in the Socialist Republic of California; I suspect he may be brewing up some agave juice out there in the desert, which may account for the missing segments of the recording...
I wonder when the last time there was a crowd of 27,000 for a Midget race in the USA? Probably have to go back to one of the immediate post-WW II shows at the L.A.Coliseum. Heading Down Under to watch the speedcars is definitely high on my bucket list.
