Joker175 Posted June 28, 2006 Report Posted June 28, 2006 I am sorry to inform you all of the sad passing of Mike Hook today For those of you who dont know he is the promotor of Standlake Arena. I have known Mike for many years(spent first 11 months of me life living on his farm) And it has come as a great great shock. I would like to offer my support to all his family and just to say how much he will be missed.

Leeroy186 Posted June 28, 2006 Report Posted June 28, 2006 RIP Mike Hook, his commentry used to make the atmosphere at Standlake even better. My favourite saying of his was 'Less of the yakking, lets get cracking!' Big loss to Standlake and banger racing.
