Nhra starter is a dork!!!!!

[rich freitag]

We have Rick Stewart at the start, he rushes you to stage, makes a BIG FOOL out of himself & the NHRA with his antics, THEN to add insult to injury, we have Gary Gerald at the end who can't wait to interview you and talk about all the NEGATIVE things: how you can deal with your loss, your crash, your fire, points loss, tragedy, etc. People like this we don't need to represent us drag racers.

I think we all miss Buster Couch and Steve Evans. Buster was great to see at the start of a race and Steve was great to see at the end of a race.

Buster and Steve made it fun to watch....two names in drag racing that will always bring back memories of when I looked forward to turning on the TV and catching the race.

Another one is Bret Kepner...always did great interviews.

ESPN needs to take Lewis Bloom (Statguy) out of the truck and put him into the booth..he's the real deal....nothing like Louie announcing at a D1 race...he's the best !!!!

[Carl Juliano]

I agree, Lewis Bloom should have a more prominate role in the telecasts, his knowledge runs circles around Paul Page. And Rick Stewart is an attention *****, all his stupid gestures, and actions are embarrasing.

[Ed Fernandez]

And he's not a big fan of us sportsman racers.

In a perfect "sportsman" world broadcast you could have Kepner (who really gave a crap about SST-TF), Mr. Bloom (who spent tons of time at E-Town seeing/announcing a lot of racers grow) Leo Taugher (think I'm spelling that right) who vocalized D3, Nationals and some D1 races in the past. And Mr. Frey who encompasses so many facets of drag racing's sportsman and professional interests on a whole.

Yes but there is no "perfect world" example, the current Dem regime in DC

Buster at 1974 Sportsnationals knew I had this picture of him.
We were class r/u to Bill Felker in ss/ha with our 68 Camaro that we have now restored and take to cruise ins.
