Make it relevant>>>>>>>>>>You know many years ago Chris Economaki held workshops up in Indy in the winter at the Speedway Motel for up and coming drivers to help them communicate better with the press. Why not do the same thing for race track announcers >>I know some are born but others need help to bring them along. A day or two discussing different techniques and style would sure help a lot of young kids just starting out. Most announcers depend on OJT but a little education could sure go a long way. No one thing is going to be the silver bullet that gets crowds back in the stands again but several small things in combination might help. Then we go back to the "ECONOMY" some kids play with high dollar bats others just sit home and wish. The crowd we would probably be catering to is the ones that don't travel all over t USA to watch their kids play ball (They wouldn't be home anyways to go to our races) so lets think on making it family friendly. Racers are competing for that ever shrinking disposable income part of the family's paycheck.
