Hoffman Racing on Radio
 

Hey guys, tonight (3/30/08) on 700WLW AM in Cincinnati, the Hoffman Racing Team (owners for driver: Jerry Coons Jr.) will be on the "Seg Dennison Racing Report" from 7-9:00pm EDT. This show is typically a NASCAR deal with limited mention of other types of racing. WLW can be heard in 38 states and, they also have an XM broadcast but, I don't know the number. Locally, you can call in at (513)749-7000. If you are outside of the Cincinnati Area it's 800-843-2441. Any call-ins will be very helpful in getting more openwheel sprint car coverage in the Midwest and on this show in particular. So, think of a question for the Hoffmans and call in tonight!!!! If you can't think of a question at least call in and praise the shows hosts for having the Hoffmans on and discussing sprint car racing for a change!

Thanks!!!!

Re: Hoffman Racing on Radio
 

still have time to call in.

Re: Hoffman Racing on Radio
 

Well Craig and I got thru. I never got to hear the response to my questions and comments but I was supporting the sport, the Hoffmans and trying to get some more people to get involved.

A caller after me did a much better job, Just describing the action of the sport. (Dave Rose) and thanks for the comments on my comments :)

Chuck, who thought Craigs questions were very good :)

Re: Hoffman Racing on Radio
 

Thanks for calling in, Chuck. They gave quite a bit of positive feedback to the points you made. Great job! Callers pretty much filled up the whole 2nd hour of the show so, I think it was very successful.

Yeah, smith19, Bruce Merz was a stock driver around here. The "Pat Patrick" at Indy was Oil multi-millionaire U.E. Pat Patrick. He owned the 1989 Indy 500 winner of Emerson Fittipaldi and the 1982 winner of Gordon Johncock. I also think he may have owned the 1973 winner of Gordon Johncock, as well. I believe the "Pat Patrick" the caller was talking about was our fellow "Sayler Parkian" (suburb of Cincinnati) Pat Patrick. That Pat was a legend in Late Models in this area for many, many years. Other than that little faux pas, it was a great show for area sprint car fans, driver and owners!!

Re: Hoffman Racing on Radio
 

it seemed pretty good. only got to hear the last 25 min.

Re: Hoffman Racing on Radio
 

Thanks to all who called in. The hosts were dumbfounded by the amount of phone calls and the lack of NASCAR calls.

I don't know a whole lot about LM racing but I do know who Pat Patrick is. I was shaking my head "no" to that question but one of the hosts said it was the same guy and then cut the caller off!

Thanks again to the IOWers out there that called in.

You didn't miss that much. The first hour was Nascar, Nascar, commercials, Nascar, commercials, NHRA, commercials, IRL and commercials. I forgot also about the 90 second phone interview with Coons, too. The second hour was mostly the Hoffmans and they gave some great answers to some great questions whenever the guys who host the show could keep their mouth shut for more than 5 seconds. And oh yeah, commercials. I really enjoyed when the team could actually talk about racing. Thanks to them.

Sorry, I'm am getting older and I complain too much. Just ask my wife.:O:

I felt the same frustration Seadog!!! I called in at 7:15 and got airtime with the Hoffmans over an hour later. The hosts kept trying to be funny and basically interrupted everything when they finally did get to the Hoffmans in that second hour. Even with that, it was still better than listening to a bunch of crap about NECKCAR and DALE JUNNER.

Actually I was actually suprised by the number of calls they actually took. Like Cecil, I held over a hour and got cut off when they were answering. I understand the cutoff but it took me a minute to get the online feed back up.

Im pretty boring and rambling anyway, Had the stuff written down but wanted to cover as much as possible. Greets, HAR Plans, Value and excitement of the sport.

Thanks for doing this HAR. IT be nice if Seg man would get some other local tracks promotors ect on like at least once every two months.

Re: Hoffman Racing on Radio
 

Here's what we need:
The Hoffman Racing Report, Sunday from 6-7 PM. Richard as host, Rob doing color, Tim Executive Producer, Dan as Technical Adviser and Jake can call in an Andy Rooney type piece! With guest appearences from local racers such as Cecil, Nabor, Spencer, Mugavin, Harris, etc!
The above thought started out as a joke, but the more I think about it, the better it sounds. This would be good radio, good promotion for HAR, Kroger, Tide etc
P. S Where's the #69 icon???

Re: Hoffman Racing on Radio
 

sounds like winner to me!!

I would be more than honored to take part in such a show. Although I don't think the race schedule would allow the team to participate every week. But it's a good thought.
