Every time I listened to the Summer Nationals with Rueben I felt like I just came from an auction as he talked fast and loud.

Well Rueben did have a “ temporary layoffâ€â€¦â€¦I know where the volume is, none of them bother me that much.
I just heard the guy calling the pure stock race from rev say “ guy was slippin*around like a 3 legged dog on a frozen lake…….the visual can’t be unseen,lol.
Same here!
We true Southerners have heard that lingo, our whole life and get a chuckle out of it. Most of my family are rednecks, so I grew up listening to it! Them Yanks dont seem to get it!Comment

They are all bad IMO, Essex being the least worst of them. The only announcer in dirt racing that I thought was a pleasure to listen to was some announcer (I have no idea what his name was) at some dirt track in North Dakota (can't remember what track or what series it was) about 10 years ago.Comment

Some guy, somewhere, just about sums it up for me too Crossbones. Mine would be, Kevin from the Indianapolis Speedrome in the late 80’s. That guy was golden on the mic. Other than that, I just don’t get as “vested†in the race announcer as some of my fellow posters as I’ve typically tuned out the announcer and just watch the races.Originally posted by Crossbones View PostComment

Jmo but his biggest downfall calling races with the auctioneer style is he doesn’t even take a second to observe and think. He goes a mile a minute and since he’s barely thinking about what he says, he sometimes contradicts himself or completely calls what’s happening wrong. For instance, he’ll say someone is making a charge when they literally just lost ground to the cars around him. Or last night talking about how drivers are swerving to keep heat in the tires but then a second later says they are trying to keep them cool. When he’s working with someone else, it seems like he’s not really listening to that person and just waiting for his turn to talk again. I give him credit for his energy and flexibility though. He clearly is giving a great effort and seems like a really nice guy to be around.Last edited by GregA12; 11-13-2021, 10:15 AM.Comment

Dik Dillner is by far the worst. I would rather Rueben read the phone book than Dillner call a race! Glad he isn't at the Duel......Comment

Dirt vision and Drydene w/ Ruben & the chick put on a good show at Lancaster. Great reporting and announcing from both.Comment

Tonight at Cherokee, he kept saying Madden was coming off a big win from Lavonia...........good grief!
Side note.......congrats to Smokey, the only one to not change tires!Comment

I had to mute after maresca flipped. I had enough of dumb and dumberComment

Y'all seem to forget, even when show sucks its announcers job to make it sound greatComment

Making a s how sound great is fine. Making a show sound like its the best race ever held in the world while it's obviously not, just makes me want to turn it off. It was as bad as listening to Bob Dillweed for 2 hours talking non-stop. I can't wait until that happens again.Originally posted by Jim11h View Post2023 Races - 1(1 Track)

That wasn't Ruben saying that, it was the other announcer.Originally posted by taz1458 View PostComment

I listened throughout the race on the scanner and they were making it sound way more exciting than it actually was. Ruben did a fantastic job though.Comment

At Lancaster Ruben was very professional and wasn't annoying like everybody says. May be it was just that night idk.Comment
