Chet-ism’s
 

Chet Christner comes up with some good ones while announcing. Thought it would
be neat for those that want to post one they’ve heard. Don’t have to love it or hate it, just thought it would be fun to get a list of ones ya heard him throw out. I’ll start with “ Tricky Trail to Tread”. Not sure how he spits that out in heat of the moment. If you don’t like his style, then don’t reply or bash please. :23:

"cars are hopping around like a rabbit on crack"

"he's disappearing faster than breath mints at a singles bar"

"premature acceleration"

If you watch a lot. I think everyone gets a little old. But Chet is different. Can listen to him five nights a week.

Chetism, BEEP BEEP, I'm here to compete

Only other Announcer I know that even came close to him is a Hockey Announcer that did the Cincinnati Cyclones for about the first ten years. He could word play visuals right into your head and for the most part, He was purely radio. His name was Terry Ficcorelli.

"Sent a rod to God!" when someone breaks a motor. Love listening to Chet. He gets excited without being annoying.

Nay nay, not today.

“That tooted the ole stink whistle”
“He’s got some traction for action”

James Essex has one at Eldora. Davenport sent that thing in all the way to St. Henry and still beat em out of four. St. Henry is about seven miles north of turns three and four.

Chetism: Slip of the Grip.

I forget the exact quote but, something like he won by so much we’ll score him tomorrow. Actually I became a fan of Tony, but Chet is the best in the business. Didn’t want to see Tony loose the spot but when you can get the best you have to go for it. I hope we have him calling USAC for a long time

On a slow pace lap one time, Chet said:

"They're going slower than a herd of turtles". ��

Re: Chet-ism’s
 

Pretty sure first time I heard that one I spit a little beer out :5:

I believe when describing a crash tonight Chet called part of it a “carousel of chaos”

And there was one the other night about “dangling doughnuts” that I don’t remember exactly.

Dangling the Doughnut!

Was waiting for someone to add this one. When a driver pulls off a short slider “clipped the whiskers“
