Leo is very good at it but give a guy a break if he doesn't no every comb, people complaining about announcers need to think about complaining about something that is important

it's the u.s. Nationals that's what's important this week! And it's no place for a bottom of the barrel enhancement!!!

Used to be the first two days at Indy you had a whole bunch of different announcers from the NHRA announcers Guild taking turns at the mic.
Some were ok, some were way out of their league , but you usually only had to endure the bad ones for maybe one round or one class.
Kind of really makes you appreciate the job guys line Bob Frey , Leo , and Louis have done over the years.
Besides Leo , I think only Alan Reinhart and Louis Bloom have the knowledge and appreciation for the Sportsman classes to announce a race this big.

Why are you guys complaining when you have the solution right there with you. Find Billy Nees and put him in the booth, he is quite knowledgeable. I can hear it now.......

" In the right lane we have a FFFFFord vs a Chevy out of somewhere. We have a winner and a loser. Next pair up another FFFFord vs a Mopar, Damm it another winner and loser. This pair features a FFFFord vs a Pontiac Sunbird Dime Rocket. Yeahhh the Pontiac wins just like I knew he would, take that you FFFFFord." And now for a commercial break! Hemroids got you out of the drivers seat,......become a crew chief. Now back to the action"

Even Billy will laugh. [ if Jack lets him use the Internet !]

Hey Billy, why haven't you responded to this thread. You are doing a fine job of reporting with that typical "Nees Twist on Things". Everyone wants you to be a reporter, even people who don't like you or your shirts, or your old hat, and that's not counting the people that you hang with. Me personally, I approve of your reporting skills. Go forward young man!
