A fun time at MIR - Page 2

John Warehime · 10-02-2007, 02:19 PM

The Spot-A-Pots were clean, use those. The attendants are a pain in the *** at all tracks. I leave them a quarter or whatever change I have. Maple Grove, Atco, and E-town have these folks too, also not needed.
The racing was great, MIR is anice track. I drew a tough first round, but, I had a great time.

Great news about "Unk" announcing S/ss again when did he start doing IHRA National events??

Hey Joe, that was a hellava run between us wasn't it. .003 to a .004 at the tree and less than .04 at the stripe.
Fun run for a class final.
I saw Announcer Unk later that night and he remembered our run. I think he can remember every run. lol

There were no speakers where we were pitted so I didn't hear much last weekend, but Unk loves S/SS and does a great job for us.

He did also announce at Budds Creek last year too. Maybe it's a Budds Creek thing ?

Hey Mike,

That sure is a great looking 6-pack you have !!!!!!! Much better than the Mopar 6 packs of the 70's..........
The Stock, Super/Stock show was excellant and Unk did a great job, wish he would do more..
Its so Nice when the person really know what he is talking about, it makes it better for both the Fans and the Racers... Thanks, Unk for a job well done, we really do appreciate your talent and I hope you do more of this for IHRA .... Dave...1033/stock(350ci)

>> Is it really true the famous NHRA Stock/SS Sportsman announcer Bob "Mr.Microphone" Unker announced at MIR & is now officially going to be announcing at all IHRA National events the rest of the 2007 season? Anyone know the rest of the story behind this good news ? Welcome back UNK!!!!!

Dave Young,

If you'd go to more races, you'd know that IHRA nabbed Unk last year.

Finally got to meet him in person last year at Rockingham's World Finals. Awesome guy, awesome announcer.
