There's a couple Sacramento guys out there.
Gary Gerrould is the voice of the Sacramento Kings, he does the local radio broadcast, as well as the TV spot. His camera guy at the track, Tim Glass, is also from Sacramento, and was a high school classmate of crew cheif John Stewart. Did I mention where he's from?

g.gerrould is from Sacramento, and started his career as an announcer at KCRA TV our local NBC affiliate as the sports caster, and did the announcing at one of the best 1/4 mile clay ovals ever Sacramento's West Capital Raceway, R.I.P.

John Stewert (current Tuner for Morgan Lucas) is also a Sacramento Navite and attened El Camino High School when he started his career driving a Top Fuel Dragster owned by his father. Who did his father buy the dragster from?, and how did it make him famous?

The Stewarts purchased the highly successful Performance World Don Long Chassised Top Fuel Dragster of my mentors Jim "The Lizard" Herbert and his Partner legandary Northern California Tuner Chris Raynor (pictures of the car can be found on my My Space Page, or Facebook page).

John Stewarts claim to fame after the purchase of the car was that of being haled as a 17 year old high school phenom for a 2 of 3 match race victory in the former Performance World Don Long Chassised Top Fuel Dragster over Big Daddy Don Garlits at Sacramento Raceway.
