I've only seen 30 minutes out of Q2 from Pomona on Youtube but think Dave Rieff did a very good job. Smooth, excellent "no prestige" communications with his colleagues, kept the flow, let silence speak in the correct places, let go a a time or two to show his personal like for the sport etc. I liked it.

I'm probably way too picky but low point was whoever it was that sorta congratulated WJ to #13.

Are you in Pomona?

 

[Nick Name]

OK. I was going to see if you could stop by on Monday.

Before I watched the show, I was thinking, it will take me time to get used to the change. After the show started, it took me just one minute to get used to Dave Rieff. So far, job well done. Rieff and Dunn are dynamo together.

I'm giving Dave a B+ grade for the Qualifying Show! He stumbled over a few words, but most of us do!

 

[mike]

Loving Dave Rieff so far!

Not loving all the low camera angles so far...they make the cars look fast but it is really hard to tell how the race is going, even they are great for replays.

It was his first day, cut him some slack.

you mean the one that's like on the ground at about half track that they used at Indy which shows great detail of the Asphalt?

Seriously ???? Maters are now going to grade Communications professionals? Criticizing was one thing, but I have now seen it all.

Good Grief !!!

Well, if we're giving our grades, Rieff gets an A+ from me! He's long been very knowledgeable about drag racing, from top to bottom and his presentation and enthusiasm for the sport, plus his respect for it overall rate top marks from me.

I got a laugh out of Dave's "low camera angers" and Tasca using a "front engine" loader....LOL!

Definate A++ this weekend Dave R!

I have the event on ESPN3 Live. So far Dave has done a GREAT job. Now who was that guy replaced? I have already forgotten him. I will enjoy Dave all season long. I am in love with ESPN3.

 

[NYNitro86]

Alan's doing good too for the LODRS shows.

 

[legendman]

He did a great job, and I think he will get better as the season goes on

 

[mick]

dave and mike are great together; knew they would be.

 

[Paul]

I think Dave did a great job. This is the first time in recent memory where no one is tossing the lead announcer under the bus, it is a refreshing change.

 

[mike]

No, what is refreshing is not having a lead announcer that deserves to be tossed under a bus...

 

[sammi]

Good job by both Reiff and Reinhart. Once they get over the first time jitters, the show live and on air will be much improved.

 

[CrewMan]

For the first time in the last few years...I actually watched all of it and kept the volume on without turning it down when the "other guy" was talking. Man I bet Mike Dunn has to feel relieved today....

Dave has intelligence about the sport, and does not having the mind numbing blandness that PP did. I think between Dunn, Allan, Gary, and Dave...it will get back to the quality that longtime fans are used to. We will never be back to the days of the Diamond P gang...but these guys are pretty close.

Kudos fellas!!!

Liek Mark said, first time I haven't watched most of it on fast forward in years. Great job Dave..oh yeah and Mike too
