Stuck to the track like a turtle on the Texas Turnpike!

"That just lit his fuse"! 🏁

Let me be the first to pressure USAC to retain Chet for next season if they have not done so already.

Re: chetism
 

Seconded! I can listen to him several times a week and enjoy it He's got a lot of isms and manages to put them into play at the right moment. The only ism I think he overuses is Shegrin.

Maybe it’s just an “end of year” thing but lately I’ve found his constant quips and -isms to be a little annoying. No need to work something funny in every single lap. Just call the dang race.

Again, could just be me….I also find Johnny Gibson highly annoying, which I know I’m in an extremely small minority there. 😬

...like a mouse in tennis shoes...

I'm with you on Johnny Gibson but I would rather hear Chet do a race than any announcer I've listened to.

Re: chetism
 

And if you watched when he wasn't doing USAC, He was just as knowledgeable on the street stocks as he was the sprints.

Marshalltown IA for one. I used to love the Eldora Stock cars as well. I think some promoters are missing the boat.

Re: chetism
 

Is this a live announcer or the guy on Flo?

Does all the USAC shows on Flo.

Re: chetism
 

He does both many nights but mostly flo. USAC.

Johnny Gibson just to listen too is annoying. But if you're at the track he is the most informative and completely knowlegeable on the product he's marketing. You always get a full clear lineup two or three times prior to racing including before each race, And a finishing order after and mention where they will be in the dash

As for All Stars, I think I only watched two complete shows this year. I can't stand the yelling all the time. No sense in it. And a Doctors Jacket and white flag have NO correlation.

While 92 has a point, so does Chuck. I think the problem with Gibson is over saturation for those of us who’ve listened to him for years. He is very knowledgeable and does a good job explaining things. If you only heard him a couple times a year, it probably wouldn’t be a problem, but many of us have heard him many times a year for many years. What he does that annoys me is yelling QUICK TIME when the 3rd car out goes to the top of the charts. I mean give me a few cars qualified before you have to yell about it.

Awww come on, He's just trying to create excitement out of watching paint dry!

“Got biked up like a rabbit on crack.”

Hire this guy forever

Re: chetism
 

He just kinda biked and hopped out there like a rabbit on crack.

Re: chetism
 

Chet Christner is the USAC announcer on Flo. He is onsite at almost every USAC race and is therefore part of the Flo broadcast.

I wanna be the 3rd car out and have Johnny shout "quick time"! Then I would record it off dirtvision and make it my ring tone, and save it on my desktop, and play it for my coworkers, and, and, and .....

Re: chetism
 

Criss cross applesauce?

TOP shelf!

if you don't like yelling then don't listen to the owner of ventura announce a race...lol

Re: chetism
 

I agree but he keeps you up to date on the running order better than anyone. He can be kind of irritating though. Lets just hope we dont have a 20 minute speech by JC's son tonight before the feature.

Got his tail feathers dragging in the dirt.

Put the spurs to the flanks.


Humming like a mouse in a speaker.

Re: chetism
 

Im glad he took a pass on ZZ Top and stayed with USAC :D

I wanna take a minute to apologize to Chet. I personally think the best is Rob Goodman. I also like The Doctor too. I liked Tony very well including the new version of Bad Company (although original version I think is better haha) when the Bmain was getting ready and being announced. I dont like unnecessary changes for no reason. Although 40, I'm a strict believer in "if it's not broke, dont fix it". Anyways, changes was made for 2022, I'm noone in racing, doesnt matter what I think. I didnt like the changes, oh well boo hoo. My good buddy Funk said oh you will like Chet, he's good and my response was I already dont like him and season hasnt even started.

As season grew, so did Chet on me. He is very good, very comical, sometimes makes me laugh when I need it. If Chet is on here or anyone sees him regularly or knows him very well, please show him this. Chet I am sorry for not giving you a chance at the beginning of the season. I wasnt around racing last time you announced so I didnt know you like others did/do. You are an excellent announcer and I appreciate what you do for the sport and for your time.

Final note, everyone has their opinions, opinions are not right or wrong. Facts is right or wrong. There are obviously people on here that get annoyed by this person or that person, etc. When it comes to announcing, I cant name a single sole that has been into announcing that has never been annoying at some point. Announcing is your job, that means your supposed to talk, your supposed to say things. To each their own, but the damn weather annoys me and it's not even a person. Give some slack to people, they are human and not perfect. Again Chet, I'm sorry for not giving you a chance at the beginning of 2022.
