Was the announcing better ??

I joked to my box mates that, instead of using air show announcers, they should hire pro golf commentators, give them a thorough education in the history of air racing - and give them the microphone.

There was a good post on FB about that awful Stu thing those guys have come up with. I posted , calling a grown man a kid's name is just wrong .

I've had the pleasure of announcing the t-6 class races several times... my buddy Kenny price took over when I was busy with my t-6 racing association board of directors duties... it's really a challenge and I have MUCH respect for the job the GREAT Sandy Sanders did for so many years...

"I believe a Kraken got him."

I too believe the announcing was better this year. Was FKS even there this year? I think Mike Mangold is a fantastic announcer for the Jet Class.

There are some solutions, get a pit pass and enjoy the event from there. Maybe RARA should consider moving the boxes west towards the pits. Starting at the first reserved bleachers and going west from there. Less speakers and more pit action - thats a "Win Win"

NOOOOOoooooo! Don'y move the boxes into the pits, they'll bring the speakers/announcers with them.

There were still many errors, especially by Steve S. He referred to Hoot Gibson as "Hoot Wilson" at least once.

I do like having the race class participants or members doing the announcing during their races.

Smoot should announce Unlimiteds!!! Or like we said Skip Holm before

No joke! That's one of the best parts of watching from the pits. All you here are scanners broadcasting race control and the sound of engines.

So take 5 minutes and write RARA expressing your displeasure. I did.

The sport deserves better than Stewie and the Bad Boys of Air Racing.
