    Unhappy Jesse Hockett

    Just went on the Indianaopenwheel.com website only to find out that Jesse Hockett has apparently died as a result of a freak accident while loading his car into the hauler. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family. I still can't believe it.

    Never say that you've seen, did, or heard it all. 'Cause sure as anything something like this will happen.

    RIP, Jesse, fine young racer and by all accounts a class act too.

    Wanna know what's wrong with NASCAR? They've gone from Junior Johnson to Jimmie Johnson.

    Wanna know what's wrong with IndyCar? It's gone from dirt ovals to street races.

    So what happened?
    Faster than a bullet from a gun
    He is faster than everyone
    Quicker than the blinking of an eye
    Like a flash you could miss him going by
    No one knows quite how he does it but it's true they say
    He's the master of going faster. -George Harrison

    They were getting ready to go to Terre Haute for tonight's race and there was an accident of some sort in the shop. Electrical accident is what I read somewhere. Here is a nice tribute to Jesse.

    Yep

    Ive had friends alive and well one minute and dead in the dirt the next and Ive seen friends die slowly and painfully over several months.

    It sucks for those left to grieve but the instant and unexpected way looks a whole lot preferable
