Steve & Charlie.. that Catuga produced a good event isn’t surprising to me.

Back in the day, like the late 60’s and 70’s, when the Ruttmans’, Allisons, Martins, and the Parson’s and the Wallace’s were running there in the old ASA series that place was packed and the racing was the best in Canada and the upper mid-west. (well, except for Toledo and Flat Rock)

Charlie me thinks that’s a bit more info on Steve that any of us needs.

Hopefully the race call was close to doing the race justice. The race in Cayuga was one of the top five stock car races I’ve ever seen, let alone had the opportunity to call. Not only did Allgaier and his crew thrash on that #16 all race long; but there was entertaining stuff going on all around the race track. Scott Speed coming from 5 laps down, but just ran out of time to contend for the lead. Frank Kimmell finishing second after almost getting head-butted by Ken Butler III, who was heading the wrong way down pit lane.
There is talent here and there is good equipment. The two add up to entertaining racing.

I agree with you on the timing Marc. Justin Allgaier has been a factor in ARCA races all year. There are a dozen - or more young guys and maybe some gals - who will be breaking into various NASCAR divisions out of the ARCA ranks. Justin’s just one.

That race was about the most fun I’ve ever had at a sporting event - and that is saying a lot coming from me. As for Steve-O, I can confirm that he was the vision of professionalism at the track. That said, we roomed together Saturday night. His sleep-wear is scary.

In public… right. Gotcha.

Now I know why Charlie selected your most unfavored moniker.

I do not wear dresses of any kind in public.

But Steve, you didn’t clear up the most important question.

Were you, or were you not wearing a Debutantes Grown during your debut as a race announcer?

Thanks for the kind words. I had lots of help doing this first ever ARCA Radio Network webcast. Of course Charlie doing the pit reporting was great and having ARCA’s PR Directer Don Radebaugh in the booth call the race with me was a great help. Kudos also go to Steven Volp from ArcaNation for putting the entire production together and directing the broadcast.

How’s their timing?

I’d say, about six weeks late. If they had been bragging about the kid in say, early April and before his win at Salem I’d say yes… good timing.
