Was the announcing better ??

Re: Was the announcing better ??

There are some solutions, get a pit pass and enjoy the event from there. Maybe RARA should consider moving the boxes west towards the pits. Starting at the first reserved bleachers and going west from there. Less speakers and more pit action - thats a "Win Win"

NOOOOOoooooo! Don'y move the boxes into the pits, they'll bring the speakers/announcers with them.

There were still many errors, especially by Steve S. He referred to Hoot Gibson as "Hoot Wilson" at least once.

I do like having the race class participants or members doing the announcing during their races.

No joke! That's one of the best parts of watching from the pits. All you here are scanners broadcasting race control and the sound of engines.

So take 5 minutes and write RARA expressing your displeasure. I did.

The sport deserves better than Stewie and the Bad Boys of Air Racing.

Do you know of anyone who's received a response from RARA? No probably not

I too believe the announcing was better this year. Was FKS even there this year? I think Mike Mangold is a fantastic announcer for the Jet Class.

I've been saying that about Mike Mangold since 2013. I'm one of the few who also watches the Red Bull Air Races (ducking). Which he announces for as well.

There's something to be said for someone who knows the technicalities of the racing and is well-spoken as well.
