FYI - I no longer do announcing at Gas City. Last September when they asked me if I was returning I told them 17 years was long enough and they needed to find some "new blood" to do the PA work. So I don't have a dog in this fight.

Maybe qualifications, trophy dash, another open wheel class and/or other ideas to surface soon(if things work out as Mel hopes).

Should be an exciting 2014 season at Gas City I -69 Speedway.

Sorry to hear that you won't be back Danny. I always enjoyed your work and hope that you can have some time to be just a race fan. Unfortunately, I doubt that they can find anyone with your experience to replace you. Big shoes to fill for sure.

I also agree that we need to give Mel some time. I have known Mel for over 30 years and he has the knowledge to make this work. We all just need to think SPRING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
