[QUOTE=Chris Nunn;381522]It's the best job in the business. Next to actually racing of course[/QUO

This is my first year announcing. I can tell you first hand it is not as easy as it appears. My first time announcing was at Brownstown and I can tell you that Chris does an outstanding job.

Each time out I am learning and every announcer has his or her own way of doing things. What I have been trying to do is pick up some new ideas each night from the track announcer.

I was wondering what the fans thoughts was on rather or not you should announce during the race itself. Most of the announcer booths is set up to where we can not even here ourselves on the speakers. So we can not always tell if the fans can here us or not. I do try to announce the line ups either before the race or when the cars first comes out onto the track. Sometimes things are happening so fast when the cars comes out to the track that it is almost impossible to even get the entire line up announced before the green flag drops.

It is good to have this post because for someone like myself who is learning it helps to know what the fans like or do not like about announcers. I know someone else mentioned sponsors being mentioned. This is really important to make sure they get recognized. I know we all hate commercials but without them we would not have a race to watch.
