Oops, you made a mistake. You said that I said "Pro Stock Bike had 21 CARS..." I didn't say that. Only kidding. Thanks for the input and opinion to all. Haven't done national event PA announcing since 1999. Not an excuse for mistakes and I'm still getting my chops back. Lots of things have changed, some things are the same. Will I make more mistakes? Probably. Everyone in this line of work will stumble from time to time. But it's great to be back.

I look forward to Englishtown, you Alan, Joe Costello, Leo Taugher (or maybe Walter Frey because I was expecting Leo this weekend for his 2013 Debut)

True but tell me why my post calling James out for name calling deleted? I said telling me to shut up wasn't very civil!!!

Sooo confused?!?!?!

If the original offense was removed, there is no need for the follow ups.

As for who ignores what, the fact that Bill posted on a thread about himself seems to answer that, no?

Sad we live in the world we do today where we are always looking for something wrong , mistakes ...being a critic ..

Come on man ! Ease up ...

Welcome back Bill ,I have always enjoyed your broadcasts ,shows you have hosted ..

Keep on keeping on Bill ...You are the consumate pro ..

I neither edited nor deleted any of my post/s to clarify.

I thought Bill did an excellent job on Sunday. Liked the historic comments and also some of the inside family type comments.

Bill is the man, but so is Dave , and the No Drive'in Mike dunn.

Bill was an excellent choice ... He is already good and will just keep getting better. I hear some errors every National Event no matter who is on the mic, it is just the nature of a live event with 500+ racers on the property ... Some things are going to get missed or overlooked.

Welcome back Bill. I missed you on NHRA shows. I didn't hear any of those miscues so won't comment, but I know you are passionate about cars and racing so you can have all the slack and leeway you need to get back up to speed as far as I'm concerned. Great to hear your voice announcing again!

The Pros ignore this because of the stuff that was deleted. No need for name calling like a first grader.

Not a valid excuse for not being on here (not that they should have to be on here to start with). No one ever got beat up on here any more than Don Schumacher and he is still here.

There were more insiders on this board before the so called clean up brought on by a Bully in AZ (that is not on here anymore) crying to the powers that be.

Bill did a fabulous job today. Was enjoyable to listen to. Constructive criticism.

I'm GLAD Bill is back!!

 

[NYNitro86]

although I did have to send a Tweet to Reinhart after first TAD Qualifying when Mike Burns ran in Len Cottrell's Chicken Chokers mentioning that Mike had driven for Len before back in 2004 and had a Blowover at Lebanon Valley (I have Video of that).

 

[Billy]

Once again, thanks for all the kind comments. Although it's a privilege to be an NHRA announcer, luckily it's not what we all do on the microphone that makes our sport great. I'm an announcer , but more importantly, I'm a fan.

As far as I am concerned, ALL the choices were excellent!! I have no complaints......KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK

Bill, heard your voice on the PA yesterday in the background on espn telecast;
IMO your voice became synonymous with nhra during your great work back in 90's and now is just a continuation......as if you've never been away

Bill-you are gonna have to let people adjust-you just don't have that " NJ geeky cool" thing (Bob Frey-Lewis Bloom ) going for you.

 

[willy]

I'm glad to see/hear you back, Bill.

I have no doubt you'll do just fine...for years to come.

You may be onto something, Sherm.
