Where?s Alan Reinhardt?

As the title implies, the best part of Nhra.tv has been missing on the broadcasts for a couple weeks. Hope he is ok.

Hmm! I was thinking the same thing. Jason Galvin Joe Castello and Warren Evens do a good job of calling the action but they are not Allan.

Wherever he is, he will be missed!
At an NHRA banquet we had the chance to sit down with him. Talk about a resource and historian! Great stories.
I’m sure he will land on his feet.

Thank you Alan!

So do we know for sure that Alan has been dismissed from nhra TV? If so that was a bad mistake on their part..

I have no idea and I agree. I'm not about to start the National Enquirer here.

The rumor I heard floating around is that NHRA is upset with Alan over something he said about Tech and the John Force crash.

We miss hearing him. He's clearly the voice of NHRA.

It was Alan's explanation about why the chutes didn't open. Although
not earth shattering, it pre-empted Tech from saying what they wanted, when they wanted. Worth losing Alan over? Hardly. Every year we seem
to get less perks, and to me, listening to Alan is a perk. And he works like
a dog, will go anywhere, anytime. Doesn't have any boat anchors to restrict his movements.

I thought the video was great and a service to the NHRA. It ended all the speculation about the pins still being in the chute packs.
