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

Over qualified

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.

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."
