Re: Rick stewart to retire
 

His greatest moment was when he got all spazzed out and hopped on the RICE-ROCKET and cracked the throttle and headed down the track and recieved a fair amount of road -rash ,,,,laughed my *** off !!!!! But he would have to have a fair amount of therapy to fll the spot................... dennis :cool::cool::cool::cool::cool:

That was the biggest thing that drove me nuts about him. We all know he isn't actually doing anything at that point. Maybe he is going to go back to racing and he has been doing that to antisipate the tree so he will be sharp when he gets back in the car.

I would much rather be the starter following Rick. It wouldn't have mattered who the new starter was following Buster no one was going to like him.

Rumor has it that the trunk monkey is taking over the starter position.

Over qualified

Re: Rick stewart to retire
 

It's too bad that we can't go back in time and clone Buster Couch before he passed away. I never competed at a National event, but have seen a lot of videos of him in action. Buster had a personality that was unlike anyone else. I hope someone can be found with the same qualifications as Buster. Of course we would have to go back and clone Steve Evans, also. I do miss the days of his commentary. Anyway, my 2 cents - for what it's worth.

Re: Rick stewart to retire
 

I suppose there's been plenty of Buster threads, but this reminded me of something that hit my funny bone pretty hard. While announcing at the Gatornationals for the first time way back when, Buster was sitting in the next booth/ race control and of course like all or most announcers you kinda keep an ear open for class calls they're getting ready for. And only those of you that knew Buster's drawl can really appreciate this. I know per the schedule that Funny Car is next. I hear him say:

"Yeah, ok. Time to get the guard rail gliders up here."
