FAVORITE TRACK HELP???

[dirtfan2006]

jUST WAS WONDERING WHO DOES THE NEW TRACK OWNER NEED TO KEEP AND WHO DOES SHE NEED TO LET GO....

I THINK THE FLAGMAN AND THE ANNOUNCER SHOULD STAY..

I had heard a couple of weeks back the one of the tech guys was retired from his duties down there.

If I was the new owner, the announcer would be the first to go.

He has enthusiasm - but little else.

When I go to a track, I want the announcer to give me information.

The basics are:

1 - what is this race? (1st heat, consy, feature)
2 - what division? (late models, bombers, etc.)
3 - how many laps?
4 - if it's a qualifier or heat, how many advance?
5 - drivers & numbers?

I need this info before every race. Altho Cochran provided a 'program' before the last race, it had no names/car numbers.

The announcer seems to want to be on the front stretch, giving "thumbs up" to the drivers. I want him in the booth, giving info. If he has to be near the track, take the info with him.

While the announcer was on the track showing off before the evening's first race, cars were lining up and all we heard was this is the "first consy". A consy is a race for non-qualifiers. It really was a qualifying race, and he could have told us the "top 3 advance to the feature, and will start in positions x, y, z.

And then there was the lap three incident. Never once did we hear the driver's name during the 45 min. delay.

Cochran needs an announcer with info, names, numbers, etc.

As he stood in the track screaming at the fans for more noise "these guys won't race for $10,000 unless there's more noise," fans around me were asking "will he shut up for a dollar?"

That is what I look for in an announcer to Hooiser.I think he likes to show off more than anything else..The new track owers should put the ANNOUNCER,FLAGMAN,AND SO CALLED PIT STEWARTS in the wind.

[glow=red,2,300]You guys have got to be kidding me the flagm,an and announcer do a great job ....True Stone Cold needs to do a little more talk about the drivers and he will never be SHAWN WOMBLES but he is better than that guy from last year....And the Flagman has always done a great job be it in the flagstand or the pits he is the best track help that Cochran has ever had!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!![/glow]

I would really like to see new help in the pits there. The guys they have are so rude and most of the time don't know how to read the line up sheets.

[kuntrygirl]

The flagman was the best pits help they had in the pits now that he is the flagman I think he does a good job.
