Re: Go Unk!!
 

Congrats Unk! I`ve not had the pleasure of meeting ya. Sure have heard ya annouce though and it seems you drive as well as you announce. Good Job!

Re: Go Unk!!
 

Congrats, you were definitely ON!!

Re: Go Unk!!
 

Does Mike Dunn count? I've done paid announcer gigs at about a dozen tracks, but I'm not part of the Announcer's Guild, so mine don't count. Has Kepner or McClelland ever won a national?

Unk, that was one outstanding performance -- a very well-deserved win. We're all really proud of you, and it gives us IHRA guys even MORE appreciation for you being in the announcer's booth! Gives the rest of us a chance! :D Way to go!!!

Re: Go Unk!!
 

Outstanding performance Unk! Way to step in the clutch. .004,.000 in the semi's(thanks alot for that one), and a .003 package in the final. You would not be denied.


Austin did a good job too. He's just a win waiting to happen. Congrats to you both.

Re: Go Unk!!
 

Great Job Unk! 3 .00 lights in a row that's awesome! See you this weekend.

Re: Go Unk!!
 

Incredible! We are very happy to have been a part of your 1st win. Wow! What a weekend! I don't believe there is a guy who wanted this more than you. Truly deserving.

Also, congrats to Austin Ford for R/U. This young guy wants it bad, too. Long overdue himself.

Oh, and Bob... I have your pen not Jeffrey!

Re: Go Unk!!

Re: Go Unk!!
 

Mike Dunn is a color commentary man. He couldn't hold Bob's underwear in the booth. Plus he wouldn't last two rounds in stock. Top Fuel is easy , it only takes money and a crew chief. See ya this weekend Bob.

Re: Go Unk!!
 

Greg,

For some guys a lot of that is true, but Mike Dunn was the clutch guy when he was driving-he knows his stuff. And when he became a color guy, he went out and learned about Pro Stock and Pro Stock Motorcycle. Remember when he went down to NC and learned how to do a burn out in Jeg's car and he went through a gear change or two leaving the line so he'd have a better understanding of the pro stockers. I bet that with a little time, he'd learn how to do all right in a stocker-his only problem would be getting the clutch car to be consistent (I can't imagine him in a race car without one).

Re: Go Unk!!
 

Congrats Unk on a great job!

And ditto to what Professor Dave said about Mike Dunn.

Re: Go Unk!!
 

Bob:

AWESOME! Congratulations!

The look on your face in the pic on Drag Race Central says it ALL!

Wish I coulda been there to see it!

Re: Go Unk!!
 

All I can say is WOW! Thank you one and all for the very kind words.

Never in my wildest dreams did I even think about winning a National event, not even close. In my fantasy world I thought MAYBE I could someday score at a divisional, but certainly never even gave thought to a national. I'm not sure that it's sunk in even yet.

First and foremost, I've got to thank the Emmons family, they have become the brothers that I never had, and a dad that is truely a car guy. They've offered guidance and support when needed, they've laughed at my lousy jokes, and they've let the "old man" drive all night to get to the race. Besides that they REALLY know how to dial a car.

Secondly, thanks to Lucas Oil and Forrest & Charlotte for not only their support of our team, but for ALL of the support they provide across the board for the entire sportsman ranks. Two great people, and quality products (306 laps on a LT1 motor, and a small nick on a rod journal was the only internal wear/damage?!).

To all the crew guys and gals out of the Pro ranks that offered thier support while we were nearby in the staging lanes, thanks. I miss seeing you all every race weekend, I wish I had had more time to get around to see everyone........ wait a minute, no I don't....... that would have meant I was out, I like this outcome better :-) .

It may have been Jim Hughes and Craig Anderson that dumped the ice chest on me, but I do believe Reinhart had a majority interest in the concept and planning. Big Al, just remember Seattle,,,, it's all I'm going to say........

Sorry I'll miss everyone in Belle Rose this weekend, but I'll be in San Antonio announcing the IHRA race. I'll catch up again with everyone in Dallas for the divisional.

Thanks again everyone!

Stock is WAY COOL, winning is WAY COOLER!

Re: Go Unk!!

Re: Go Unk!!
 

Great driving, Unk! You need to forget about those low paying announcing jobs and go on tour.
