We all want Alan back, but we also have to give new guys a chance. He learned about all of us over years not a year, need to give them time to learn all the divisions. Not an easy task by any means. Just my opinion, John

Think it?s poor that they use a particular announcer that has close ties with one of the Pro teams?.and pitching the sports betting that NHRA directly benefits from is classless. Just my two cents

Maybe so. But I'll bet that a lot of what is said, or not, at nationals by announcers is scripted by the NHRA people, with a lot of improvisation or off script banter being frowned upon.

While I don't disagree, a lot of the enmity is due to how NHRA has treated so many over the years. Alan, Dave Ley and his wife, Gloria, Redman, and Wesley Roberson, among others, aren't just "personnel", those people are our family. Some of those people literally broke bread with us in our pits, shared water and other cold and hot beverages with us, and spoke with us regularly. Because they too love the sport, and they love us, as well. NHRA has simply discarded so many who gave their lives to this sport we love, to make things better for us, the racers.

Hey, if you like Alan Reinhart on the mic, tune in this weekend to NHRA.tv for the divisional event from Bowling Green. You'll be pleasantly surprised...

He is indeed fabulous. And of course, its just doesn't even feel like race morning until you hear Come on Eileen, Hot rod Lincoln, Cover of the rolling stone etc etc etc.
Just because he's an independent contractor doesn't mean he wont be back at national events. I tend to think we might hear him at Indy announcing S and SS! Might be wishful thinking, but I'm going with it !! Kp |
