    Best announcing job of the year

    Just watched the Fall Classic from Whynot. Good race. And even better announcing. Ross Tingle’s call last night is my kinda announcing. Stayed calm, raised his voice slightly when appropriate, never used stupid sayings, never tried to be a comedian, called the action very simple, very professional. Every announcer in the business should watch and learn. Thanks Ross. Hats off to ya!

    I thought the same thing when I watched the replay this morning. I'm always ready to kill the audio on some of these races but that was indeed a pleasant surprise. More Ross, less Wesley and a few like him.

      does the SAS series.

          I don't won't to hurt anyone's feelings but the announcers in this sport are cringy and that hurts dirt racing more than anything. I watch races online/streaming with mute on most of the time, or its turned down so much you can barely hear it.lol

            True. Most are painful.

            Sharon Speedway has a good announcer, been at it for a very long time. As is the DoD guys, and Norris. Whynot guy isn’t bad.
            Up in the air who my next “favorite” driver is. Really losing hope on Bloomer getting anywhere back to “normal”.

                That dude needs to ditch 90% of his catch phrases and concentrate on describing the action and calling a race. His flow is choppy, disjointed, and hard to follow. He could learn from the guys who call the races at Cedar Lake, FALS, or from Essex/Ruben/Eshelman. That said, even Eshelman needs to chill a bit on the sayings.

                    You don't understand Deewayne, cuz you're not from the South! I've heard people use his sayings my whole life, they don't bother me.

                    Just don't scream in to the mic!

                      You mean Tingle didn't utter "more humps than Beyonsey" in Whynot?!! My son does use I need something yummy for my tummy!! I think Tingle called some Ice Bowls too at Dega. I wish I could have made it to hear it in person!

                        Well I'm from the south and I understand him 100%.

                        He does not know the names of the drivers.
                        He says turn's 1 !!!!! LOL. How many turn 1's are there
                        on a track ???

                        I guess he really thinks that wrestling is for real and not fake.

                        I think EAMS and the SAS would like to get rid of him but
                        they are afraid to.
                        He probably has the largest family of any body, I cant count all
                        the BRUTHERS he has, every body he talks to is his BRUTHER,
                        but man they sure do look different.

                        I love racing but if I had only one track to go to and he was
                        the announcer, I would have to stay home.

                        I guess that's what they mean by TO EACH HIS OWN !!!

                        Don't forget about the DOG IN HEAT either.

                        GOOD DAY ...

                          LOL. I just watched the race on DoD and thought the announcer sounded like he'd rather be at home clipping his toe nails.

                            Erb goes 3 wide through the middle to take the lead and the guy sounded more like he was calling a chess match. Maybe somewhere in the middle of this guy and Dewayne is the sweet spot for me. I dont mind a little excitement from the announcer.
