      Thanks Charles, I am looking forward to it!

      Big - I'd mock a South Dakota accent but I have no freaking idea what that is. Wicked Pissah!

                Exactly, given that I lived in SD I can verify that.

                  After all of the soul-soaking Brian's had in drag racing, I wonder how long Brian will let himself last with ECTA. Yeah, it's sure exciting being in the car. And there are sure some DAY-UM FAST cars going by on the track. But not all, from a spectator's standpoint.

                  Here's Brian on the mic: "The next entrant is on an electric motorcycle! Here he goes! He's going. He's....still going. Look at this folks, let's hope he can slow down enough to make the first turnout."

                    The fact I am most looking forward to is the pace and the information I can give to fans. That's the huge appeal of this to me.

                      Let me say this, and I mean it: From a fan's standpoint, do what you can to broadcast to EVERYBODY showing up for the show, they need a CB radio set on Channel 1. Without that...you don't know what's going on if you're a fan wandering around.


                      Edit: There should be a be an overall PA system for folks who want to know what's going on. There are pockets of places where you can hear what the announcer is saying, most importantly the speed in the trap.

                      It depends upon where you're standing. In a mile-long venue, that would be a challenge. I could design it, but it would take thousands of dollars worth of cables alone, and then some amplifiers sheltered from the weather, with AC power to them from somewhere of course. Might not be feasible.

                        Blah, blah blah. This guy can drink beer like there's no tomorrow. And that alone makes me want to listen to him.

                          No matter Bob, you can't HEAR him at the track. Let's don't tell him that yet.

                              PeeWee....you will in 2013. We've come up with a solution that Keith, Tonya, Donna, and Joe will announce when they want to. Anyone in the place will be able to hear me.
