They should hire the fat guy from TVG that does impersonations. Have him do Karl Childers only. It would be better than listening to this crap. Jesus christ this guy sounds like he's 5 years away from having his balls drop.

You left out the daily inaccurate CHART rant by those cheap bastards from DAMN EQUIBASE who continue to SCREW up each and every free race I BUY from them.

When CD bought the Fair Grounds in 2004 they decided not to hire him because he was requesting $500 a day. They also didn't like his work ethic because he would show up 5 minutes before the 1st race and would be gone prior to the nightcap being official. Having said all that, I consider him a top tier announcer. I just think he rubs people the wrong way. I was surprised they are considering him for the position knowing his past.

Your comments on Wrona's work ethic are preposterous, and $500 per day is not an unreasonable request for a "top tier announcer."

Wrona is a very good racecaller, one of the best.

Why would him leaving after the last race matter? You think hes going to hangout in the booth all night long and look over the track, someone going to steal it?

The guy is very good, and the guy from England is very good.

500 a day seems cheap to me. Should get 100 per race.
