I concur that losing Jesse Hockett, the person, let alone the racer has been the lasting negative memory of this season. I received word of it during the power outage at Anderson and wrestled with how to break such news to those in attendance, given the grace period of no electricity. In the end it was addressed and later a moment of silence was taken. But there was a pall over the entire evening.

The best memory had to be in Wisconsin around the bonfire with newly minted Must See Racing series champ Troy Decaire. The Champ had excused himself to answer the call of nature when someone around the circle gave a dead-on coyote call. However it was the return call a moment later that sent the Champ racing back to his spot around the fire!

(Ok, so it was Tim Cox with the second call, but the deed was done...)
