I was very critical of Trevor getting the BC gig and thought he did not live up to Durkin's standard, but I've grown to appreciate him over the years simply because he knows how to observe the flow of the race. This sounds like it should be easy, but in the heat of the moment to be able to fluently tell the story of a race is a rare gift and Trevor had it.

Also, IMO there is only one replacement and that's Vic. No matter what personal issues you might have with the guy, the SoCal circuit has sorely missed his voice and other than John Dooley, there's no racecaller more deserving of this elevated post.

Exactly Joey and Vic has this ability to deliver this in such a fashion you can see the race with your eyes closed.
