Very sorry to hear of Leo's passing, got to work with Leo only one time at Maple Grove's national event several years ago. We chatted off mike during a rain delay for at least an hour. He was everything that all of you have stated in this post about him, a very fine announcer and he will be missed! RIP

I knew this day was coming but it doesn’t make it any easier. Leo was one of my favorite people and I will miss him dearly. I first met Leo when he introduced himself to me with a great big “Good Luck” hug at the 2006 GatorNationals. After making it to the final round at that race, I made it a ritual at every race we both attended to get my big Leo hug.

When I won my first NHRA event at the Bowling Green Divisional, Leo was there for my Winner’s Circle Picture. The picture hangs on my wall and I can see it as I write this. Leo was a great supporter of the Sportsman racer and a fantastic announcer.

RIP Leo. I miss you!

Far too many of the good ones leaving the sport and Leo was a good one. Never met the man but on the live broadcasts and at the track, he knew Comp, Stock, Super Stock and the Super classes. He spoke with authority, with clarity and you knew he knew the contestants and their families. Thanks for the education Leo and may you rest in a better place!

Leo Taugher the best at what he did. I think Leos favorite thing to announce was Modified Eliminator. to hear him at Magnolia Drag Strip on a Saturday Night was something else.


RIP My Friend

So many great times at Quaker City , and as others have said he truly knew the cars and the families behind them . When we started racing the NHRA stuff , he would still look us up and make us feel welcome to be there as if it was at Quaker City , truly a great man . He will always be one of my Icons of the sport I love .

RIP LEO

Leo was my friend and like so many have said we seem to be sending a lot of them to the great dragway in the sky. Well now they have their announcer. A fellow Marine we always gave each other a salute when we saw one another. I'm blessed to have a cd of my final round appearance from Norwalk 2008 so I can always play that and hear his voice. R.I.P. my friend.
