Back in the early 1990s when I was an impressionable young kid, I began my lifelong obsession with sprint car and midget racing. Those key people who made me into the fan I am today include Gary Lee and Larry Rice on Thursday & Saturday Night Thunder. Now, both are gone. RIP Gary & Larry. Just know that you guys made a huge impact on my life and, for that, I will be forever grateful.

I have a huge collection of "ESPN Thunder" videos featuring Gary & Larry's work. Tonight, I'm reliving many of their great calls from the races of the past: https://www.youtube.com/user/charlesintestine/videos
