And you know this to be fact?
Tim has spent many years working for the Suzuki amateur program along with several years as a mechanic for the likes of Dungey and Alessi. There’s a very good chance that he saw the problem on his own.
What would it matter anyway. Everyone in the enire stadium saw the plugged muffler on the big screen.

The Shop
I liked when Denny was doing the color. The guys on the internet feed do a great job. Ralph, Jeff, and Erin, well not so much..
(And I'm not takin' sides/don't really know the guy...Hell, and we're even talkin' about a guy that's thrown A LOT of Rooooost on me at Cahuilla and Ryno-Land. That no good fast sum-bitch!)
I can & sometimes "do" fault these folks along some of the same lines that you do; however, if we're gonna talk crap about someone's "impediment"...
Well, that's jus' F'd up.
I'm jus' sayin'...
I know Gibby, you like everyone, everyone is great, don't really have a favorite.. Damn the same ol pc statements from you... I get it though, you can't piss off the guys who basically you make your living off of.
If you can't see Erin isn't cut out for this line of work, then fine. Just take a look at other sports and see how the pit reporters handle things...
There is a reason why Erin is still in mx and not NASCAR like Jamie and Krista are. Oh, and it's not for the "love of the sport."
Yup. NASCAR. There's the Answer to all of our "ills".
You take it.
I'll keep our lil' "podunk" sport.
I'm jus' laffin'...
Green he has every right to talk crap on someones impdeiment. Emig is a professional speaker, if he has a speech impediment he probably shouldnt have a job as an announcer
Well, that's jus' F'd up.
Someone asked and I gave an opinion... I didn't call him out..
Is it wrong to ask for a guy who talks for a living to be clear and not get lost in his words??
Stuttering John from the Howard Stern show has done pretty good in life with his impediment. Just saying a professional announcer should be held to a higher standard..
I LIKE THE FACT THAT HE'S IN THE BOOTH! Because of some of the things he's "over-come".
You guys want prefection?
Then go to it and make it happen.
"Yes", the coverage could be better; but, Where The F'k were you guys 20 to 30 years ago when the always referenced "NASCAR" was at this point?
We've got that beat all to hell.
Lighten up. This -IS- a growing and improving situation.
I'm jus' sayin'...
Honestly, I don't spend much time on other boards. This one keeps me busy enough.
Actually, I generally do like everyone, unless they've given me a reason not to. Are there riders I'd prefer to talk to? Sure. K-Dub and Langston are probably two of the easiest interviews out there...really entertaining, and real pros at it. They'll usually talk for as long as you want to sit there and listen.
Chad's also really good now, which is 180 degrees from how he used to be.
James can also be a lot of fun to chat with when he's not in a hurry, or doing a media clamp-down.
As far as the racing? I really don't have a favorite, and the reason this season has been so much fun to cover is that you don't go to the races knowing in advance who's going to win. That's unusual. It's been really interesting to see who brings their A game on Saturdays.
If I remember right, you guys used to piss and moan about Krista when she was doing SX, but now that she's made it to NASCAR, she's okay? (And actually, from what I've seen of her, she seems much more comfortable there than she did at SX.)
Why can't you jus' be a Bitter-Opininated-Ass-Hole like the rest of us?
Get on-board, Man!
This whole "Happiness" thing is for LOSERS!
Idiot!
I'm glad I don't know you.
People that are always smiling get on my nerves.
I gotta go.
There's some hatin' that needs ratifyin'...somewhere...
Sorry.. .no one is above critique, especially when they are in the public eye.
Her same questions on the podium is old. Heck, just watching the AX on tv and their podium guy.. he asks a couple of questions, then the obligatory one... "who would you like to thank?"
Maybe that would help, ask the riders a pertinent question or two (not the stupid one she asked to Millsaps either), then ask who they want to thank. Once the riders know they can thank their sponsors, they won't try and jam them in.
Krista was great to me.
Mainly I try (and the key word is try) to treat everyone the same. Privateer or podium guy. Future champ, ex-champ, mid-pack, or never-was. You meet guys on the way up, and guys on the way down, just as I've worked my way up and down the ladder. And I've always tried to do that, whether it was covering BMX, mountain bikes, or MX/SX.
Pit Row
And sprint cars.
I wonder what these potential sponsors look at??? If I were looking to drop money into a show, I would look at all aspects, announcing staff included! The announcers are a major part of the show. Makes me wonder who is in charge of sponsoring things at these companies you speak of?
Btw, ya might wanna try some Don Julio "Real"...or "1942".
Or, if ya really want the best Repasado for the money: Try Sauza Hornitos or Cazadores.
I love to rock the Montrose, Ol' Sammy, Van Hagar, the New Sammy and, the UNBELIEVABLE Chickenfoot and all that; but, the Tequila is..well...mediocre.
Hell, c'mon down to Daytona and we'll do some Tequila tastin' at the pier.
I'm jus' sayin'...
RC is as unprofessional as it gets. Yelling "oohhhhh" over the top of everyone every time someone comes up a little short gets old. He doesn't know when to NOT give broad generalizations about topics that could be defensive to some of the viewers. His opinion voiced about the Leatt brace was surprising Sat night. No matter how he felt, I didn't think he should have said what he did. (I don't own one) But, he is the GOAT so he gets a pass from everyone.
IMO, Erin does a nice job. She isn't perfect, but overall I think she fits the broadcast and the sport well. I like the consistency. I would rather have her being herself than someone like Christa, who was better, but would not be around for long. I don't like anyone being in there if I don't feel like they know anything about sx/mx.
