Remember, he is not the announcer, he is the analyst. Paul Page, the announcer, is an incompetent idiot; how he retains his job is a complete mystery to me.

Dunn is fine (although I get tired of his continuous lobbying for a ride). I thought his interview at Indy with Snake, Force & Johnson was the best part of the whole show. I was more trying to convey what an imbecile Page is.

Remember that NHRA foots the bill for all production costs and the airtime....I sure hope Page is working cheap.

They could tap into Bob doing the P.A. announcing and it would be a huge step up.

I think Mike Dunn is the best announcer/analyst in motorsports broadcasting today, although I gotta give Mike Joy a very honorable mention (he does a good job at Barrett-Jackson too).

I really miss Steve Evans, not just because he was fantastic as a reporter/analyst, but I think he truly loved sportsman drag racing and realized that it is the backbone of drag racing.

Since the day he passed the amount of sportsman coverage on TV has dwindled to almost nothing. Remember when Diamond P showed all the final runs in all of the sportsman categories at the Nat'l events and had interviews with the winners on TV? That was great stuff!

NHRA pays for the TV time, but ESPN controls who is the on-air talent.

NHRA still has to pay for it....I'd say Paul must be working cheap.

That booth is about 92" wide and aprox 10 feet deep, they both work out of a tail section of a trailer body. If you guys are small, you may be able to squeeze past Louis Bloom, whos in an area 1/2 as big and get in. I'd pay to see that.

Doesn't Paul Page remind you of the police chief in "The Simpson's ?"
