John McCormack is a former Australian racing driver. Originally from Tasmania, McCormack became one of the leading Formula 5000 racers in Australia during the 1970s.
As well as open-wheelers McCormack drove sports sedans, winning the 1974 Toby Lee Sports Sedan Series driving his highly modified Charger-Repco V8 which underneath the Charger shell had specifications virtually identical to those of his Formula 5000 car.
In 1979 McCormack was one of the first drivers to race a Chevrolet Camaro (filling in for fellow F5000 racer Kevin Bartlett who was nursing a broken leg) at the Hardie-Ferodo 1000 at Bathurst. After numerous problems with the big Chev during practice, McCormack and co-driver Bob Forbes started 60th (out of 63), and were a DNF after just 62 laps when the 350ci V8 failed.
Tralee (/træ.ˈliː/; Irish:Trá Lí (formerly Tráigh Lí), meaning "strand of the Lee (river)") is the county town of County Kerry in the south-west of Ireland. The town is on the northern side of the neck of the Dingle Peninsula, and is the largest town in County Kerry. The town's population including suburbs was 23,693 as of the 2011 census making it the 7th largest town, and 13th largest urban settlement in Ireland. Tralee is well known for the Rose of Tralee International Festival which has been held annually in August since 1959.
History
Situated at the confluence of some small rivers and adjacent to marshy ground at the head of Tralee Bay, Tralee is located at the base of a very ancient roadway that heads south over the Slieve Mish Mountains. On this old track is located a large boulder sometimes called Scotia's Grave, reputedly the burial place of an Egyptian Pharaoh's daughter.
Anglo-Normans founded a town in the 13th century, which became a stronghold of the Earls of Desmond, who built a castle. John Fitz-Thomas FitzGerald founded the monastery of the Dominican order and was buried there in 1260. The medieval town was burnt in 1580 in retribution for the Desmond Rebellions against Elizabeth I.

Lee McCormack Teaching Pro Rider Dani Arman How to Jump in One Session | Lee Likes Bikes/RideLogic
Sure it helps to be a pro rider like Dani Arman, but even the best riders (especially endurance types) need a little help once in a while. Dani came into our session with on-point pumping technique. This helped her progress quickly and safely to jumping. If you follow our channel, you already know that pumping and jumping require identical skills and movement.
