On The Couch With Hooly

On today’s episode we’ve got the very talented Maisie Place who is making waves in the motorsports scene at only twenty-two years of age. Working as a determined young mechanic and competing in the state championships, she has recently started her own race team. Maisie absolutely loves her Mazda RX8’s and shares her hard work, dedication and passion to these beautiful beasts with us on this jam packed episode. 

Multitalented, Maisie is running in the Mazda RX8 Championship as a driver and mechanic on not only her own cars, but that of fellow competitors. Plus, when she isn’t hitting the tar tracks, Maisie is a rally navigator competing in some of Australia’s toughest events. 

Maisie’s love for race cars and Mazda’s are second to none and you’ll hear a lot more about her incredible journey on today’s show, beyond the helmet.

On today’s episode we’ve got Mark Attard, a chicken farmer from Sydney’s Hills District who loves to go insanely fast. Mark is also a husband and father, an avid supporter of the Manly Sea Eagles and the Ford Motor Company. 

With a rich heritage in the Sprintcar scene, many of you might be familiar with Supreme Poultry Chicken being a feature at Parramatta in years gone by and recently at Eastern Creek. Plus, Mark’s the only driver that I know running a 410 Roush-Yates motor in the country. 

Mark has won many well deserved trophies in Sprintcars and has some incredible stories to tell in this episode, which you’ll find out right now from the man himself.

On today’s episode we’ve got Stu McCarthy. Speedway fans might recognise Stu’s familiar voice known for entertaining crowds at the old Parramatta Speedway and in recent months the new Eastern Creek Speedway and Sydney Dragway that sit side by side. 

We spent some time getting to know the man behind the mic including his family ties in speedway with the Bell Bowen family and his chronic autoimmune diseases, which he refuses to let define his life. Stu is an absolute inspiration for those who might also be fighting illness, disability or injury, including raising awareness for Muscular Dystrophy, which we will chat about during the show.   

As one of the sports leading commentators, he’s been around the speedway industry for years and has some incredible stories to share. Stu also runs his own podcast called Chatting with Stu Rat, but today it’s Hooly’s turn to have a chat with him. So listen now to hear what Stu has to say on today’s episode, beyond the mic.

On today’s episode we’ve got Chevy Olexienko, Chevy is a FMX rider who traveled all the way from Queensland to be here on the show today. He’s done some extremely cool stunts that some people could only dream of. 

Many people are terrified of broken bones. Not Chevy. This future Crusty Demon, is pedal to the metal, launching himself off insane jumps to entertain crowds all over the world. 

This is the first time Hooly has spoken to a professional FMX rider. Not only did he get to know Chevy but also got to know about the sport. So buckle up if you are new to two wheels also because you are in for one hell of a ride. 

In the studio we were also joined by Chevy’s girlfriend Zoey, who you will hear on the mic from time to time in the background with Brooke. You’ll hear some crazy stories from Chevy, beyond the helmet.

On today’s podcast we’ve got Jimmy Vernon. Beginning his sporting career in the world of motocross, due to injury, Jimmy had to stop competing on two wheels. Not one to give up, he decided to give four wheels a go in the world of karts. It wasn’t long before he hit the big tracks, racing in Historic and Duratec Formula Ford racing with Listec Race Cars.

Jimmy is a natural talent behind the wheel of a race car and was the first driver to get a seat in the CAMS Jayco Formula 4 Australia Championship. He then moved into the Porsche Cup Challenge Series on a tight budget receiving multiple podiums and wins along the way. Shortly after he moved into the Toyota 86 Racing Series, winning a National Championship.

But, it didn't stop there! Listen now to hear Jimmy’s incredible racing career, the ups, the downs and where he is headed in the future. If you’re a passionate motorsports fan who watches all the top championships in Australian Motorsport, then you’ll love Jimmy Vernon’s story, beyond the helmet.
