Everyone still remembers Buster Couch as the best starter ever.....Surely always a gentleman to everyone, BUT, you'd better not screw with him or you'd soon be backing away from the starting line.....sorry, but IMO, Rick S. couldn't even carry Buster's gym bag.... Bob Frye and Louis Bloom are the 2 best at the microphone that NHRA has right now, for sure....Too bad they couldn't get Brett Kepner and Mike Joy ( Nascar), as well--They're 1st class like Frye and Bloom. Years ago, (70's and 80's) when my family was oval track ice racing snowmobiles in the winter, Paul Paige was doing announcing at the major events....he did a good job back then, sleds were his specialty, and am almost sure that's where he got started in announcing....
