Sorry, I should have typed "OT" I guess, since everything else that has been typed was on topic.

Jerry, that's precisely right. Spridge (admittedly) is no announcer. But, he does a really good job describing the event and bringing subtle nuances such as behind the scenes information and anecdotes to the table. He doesn't really relish "announcing", he just does what needs to be done. His enthusiasm comes through. He's just a HUGE fan of the sport, I don't need to tell ya. He took over for Blake at Dodge City due to Blake being under the weather. As for every other time he has announced, it's because I simply cannot reach the announcer for the live feed. Simple as that. Again, he doesn't really enjoy announcing, but he is pretty good at it, and he will do it when necessary as a favor to me. Spridge is an "all hands on deck" kind of dude, and I dig that about him. He gives everything he has for the greater good.

Thanks for the kind words about our live feeds last weekend. Trying to get USAC to make a habit of it again. For anyone who might want to see more, a few well placed emails to the right place might help. Just sayin'...
