Jonny here. I'm a dad. Eric Thomas Raymond Hoare was born on Tuesday dinnertime...

Obviously I am not at the NEC this weekend (Eric put pay to that) but Stoxradio.co.uk is with super sub Sammy Jinx Brenton doing interviews. Sure to be the best looking interviewer there...but that shouldn't be hard. Grab words with her at the #pickitlickitrollitflickit ORCI stand. And of course hear the fruits of her labour on The F2 Show. 8pm. Tuesday 19th January! #watchitraceit

Remain seated at all times...

First dictat from the powers that be for the year declare that there is to be a new race procedure..

"With immediate effect, drivers will not be allowed to exit their cars whilst the race circuit is live i.e. under “green” racing conditions.
This includes both drivers on the race track whose car has become immobilised and those who retire to the infield who must also remain in their cars with both their safety harness and helmet on.
The only exception to this is where a car needs to be vacated in emergency conditions – i.e. fire etc. If a driver is in a car and feels there is a problem which officials may not be aware of which potentially makes staying there unsafe, they should indicate this to an official with the “thumbs down” signal who will then ask race control to suspend the race.
It should be noted that in all cases, the primary cause(s) of the suspension/stoppage, shall be excluded for any re-run or re-start."

What do you think of this proposal?

Common sense or difficult to enforce?

A Big Announcement

 Ladies and gentlemen of Stockcarland. I have some very grave news to tell you

After 5 years, the Stoxblog in its previous guise is dead.

So for those who have been religiously checking in on your phones waiting for the next report on the Jho Stoxblog, well I'm very sorry. In a certain part of Scotland, celebrations are taking place at the cessation of "bad news".

For those who knew what was happening - it's no surprise.

In a case of neglect so bad, that if it was a dog, it would have been taken to Battersea, and you know, dispatched to the Rainbow Bridge, in a bin bag to put it out of its misery. If it was a child, it would be with a new foster parent, and the parents would be in chokey.

But, like Boyzone sang, it's only words. But words aren't all I have, Ronan. I have me voice too!

The last blog post was Easter, and well, after keeping you guys informed of 3 different sets of points, reporting from the meetings. I was exhausted. And, I found out that I was to be a daddy for the first time.

With complications in pregnancy, I found that I didn't have enough time to write the right words, often getting the dreaded writers block, or just a severe bout of couldn't be arsed. I found it easy to open me gob and take it from there.

I took a massive gamble when I started Stoxradio. I could have severely ended up with egg on my face, but when faced with theft of articles, no credit and no creative input, I just thought, sod it let's have a go. I soon created a podcast, with prerecorded elements into a nice little package. I then got the technology to do live broadcasts, from the tracks and from home aswell, including a Tantric like 3 hour spoken word broadcast (even in my previous life as a hospital and student radio deejay, I had records to play if I ran out of things to say!), building up to a big creschendo, and boom, getting it horrifically wrong!

Then after the world final, and then laptop death, I returned with more technology! Live calls to air! Very dangerous.

So hear we are in a new site. The old blog favourites will be continuing on here, and there will be reports of such of the weekends results and the like, and if there is any breaking news, then we shall be bringing it to you in a multimedia style on here, and on our social media channels!

So what does year 2 of Stoxradio bring. More voices, more shows and more fun!

Jho Stoxblog is dead.  No flowers. Donations to the Jho beer fund.

Stoxradio is here to be heard people!
