When Steve Evans died we lost a great drag racing personality. At least we are losing Bob Frey to a great thing - RETIREMENT.

I was not a big fan of Bob Frey so I won't miss his dry humor. I actually thought he was boring. He was very knowledgeable but just didn't have much excitement. I have been racing down south most of my career and Hasley Hood was the best I have ever heard. He still does some local stuff. I hope they can get a good replacement for him. Actually the guy that does WFO radio is real good. I heard him at a race in West Palm and he was very good.

No Say it aint so. !!!!!!........... Sure am going to miss his voice.......

Congrat,s on your retirement. You have earned it. You will be missed. Have fun with grandkids

[Doug Blackley]

The voice of Sportsman drag racing will be missed. So does this mean he will finally get that Volare done that he talked about so much? Hmmm, maybe he can write a book about all the great history he's seen.

Bob's been a great friend to all racers,especially the Sportsman.
He's always managed to bring a little ,sometimes a lot,of humor to our sport.
He, like Dave MacCelland,and Steve Evans before him will be especially missed by the racers.

BUGGAR again !!

However, guys he really didn't do a lot of sportsman coverage in the last few years (decade) except for early race weekend stuff for sportsman, gotta figure the ESPN time took him away from us.

That been said, I'm gonna miss listening to his ever entertaining voice over the PA during the pro session. Some of the inside, hilarious, joking, poke fun comments will be missed and now it will make the Pro session sound like us now without him!

Him and Reinhart together was like being at a comedy club, good stuff!
I reckon Alan is the best lately at getting the fans revved up about Sportsman racing, I watched people in the stands at Sonoma cheering for Stockers while he was on the mic!

HOW THE HELL do ya replace him? Haven't heard or seen anybody capable lately ???## ???%^*^$U&$^#% b NHRA missing it again without having a back-up plan ?

Gonna miss ya Bob !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
