I'm considering the 2 MSCS races(Fri.@Bloomington &Sat.@Haubstadt) this weekend instead of staying here in Illinois and going to the back to back POWRI shows.
The Powri shows are within 2 hours or so. Bloomington is 2 1/2 a stay over then on to Haubstadt & a stay over.
Why?
you say...well....the last 2 Powri shows I went to, the Powri announcer was less than forthcoming, with the information that I need for score keeping, adding to my frustration.
I know, I will get all the info I need in Bloomington and I hope so in Haubstadt.

This brings to mind a question/gripe to the forum that follows.
What part of being an announcer, is so hard to understand, that there are people in the stands that want information in a timely manner, especially if the information is available and there is dead air or music playing.
I go to enough oval racing that, even if the they gave a rundown of just the numbers, I could figure out the rest. I realize they want to get all the car sponsors, associates and etc. as they are coming out. well guess what?, people aren't hearing that either. If an announcer cannot understand this, they need to come out and sit with me in the stands. I want to know if they can hear and understand everything being announced with the cars are warming up, pushing off and circling the track. let alone most of the antiquated audio systems hanging on the catch fence.

Peace & love to all.
God bless our Troops at home and abroad.
INDY1808 SEE YOU AT THE RACES !
