I think the sprints are next week (3/14). I would think the lates are running and the mods are off this week......but I am not sure.

It appears to be spectator racing!
That works for me.

I would absolutely love to announce and thanks for that vote of confidence. I had fun and enjoyed it when I filled in for Jim from time to time 3 years ago. Unfortunately, even if Clarence would have me, I wouldn't be able to do it.

A lot of people don't know this but I only have 20% hearing; I have an 80% loss as a result of nerve damage since birth. I was just told in January that there have been significant changes, not to the percentage of loss, but to my comprehension and thresholds for certain sounds. I was told I can't afford to lose anymore hearing and warned to not expose myself anymore to the noise of racing.

For that reason, because I can't give them the commitment they deserve, I just resigned from working for the FSCA, which really hurt because I absolutely love working for that club which I've done ever since I left Putnam. Same as with so many at Putnam, the sprint racers have been wonderful to me. I will still go watch them race occasionally; sprint racing is in my blood now! But it won't be on a regular basis. And when the cars are on the track, I will have to remove my hearing aids and wear earplugs plus a noise cancelling headset.

Clarence called, I called back, and here I am. I am happy to be your track announcer at PCS, and I hope that nothing gets in the way of me continuing to fill that role.

Just to let everyone know, I am in the process of fixing a few problems with the sound at PCS. I have already done a little bit of re engineering, and hopefully that has made a difference. Also, you may have noticed that the radio works again. Now that it is working, I'll be making some more improvements to that as well. Its an ongoing process that I will work on week to week, and each week things should get better.

If anyone had any suggestions or comments about the announcing or any related subject, please let me know!

That is something that I am working on. Sorry to say that since I am doing this stuff out of pocket for now it may take some time to fix, so please be patient with me. I want to knock out the easy stuff first, then attack the harder problems.
