First I would like to thank all the Track owners and Clubs for allowing me to be the Race Director/Announcer at many of the R.O.A.R. Nationals.
In recent weeks, R.O.A.R. has put together a new Race Management Team.
This new team will be performing all the duties of putting on a R.O.A.R. National Event.
With this new announcement, I will not be able to do what I have done in the past at R.O.A.R. National Events.

I will and hope to see Everyone at many other OutStanding Events around the Country.

Ken "Scarecrow" Holmes
ROAR #58647 Until February 07

scarecrow could you please spell out why so there is no scuttelbut and only the truth from your side.. i for one would like to know the reasons.. thank you

seems like a loss for roar to me!!

i have raced at some races that scarecrow has called and he is one of the best i have seen. i am sure he will still have plenty of races to call. i am glad the daytona race is not roar santioned or i might not attend next year.

well, i will see ya around scarecrow.

later

ROAR has recently put organization of National events into the hands of a manufacturer (Doug Hay) of race management software. This MAY mean that his software product becomes the product of choice to run the national events. That COULD BE a very dangerous move for ROAR.

My 2 cents worth!

Roar Sucks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That is a MAJOR LOSS, as Kenny is the best race announcer I have ever herd in 25+ years of racing!!!

Wish you could be here next week Ken. The voice of FOCAR, MTR and that other little race, Da'Birds:thumbsup:

Hmmm.............sounds stupid to me. But look at their recent turnouts too. You would think they would have better things to do. Oh well see ya at Sandhills or the Snowbirds!!!!

Actually Doug Hay is one hell of a guy.. I dont see him dropping any balls.. But You all may get lucky as well and get the best anouncer in the world.. Doug hay is from wisconsin, and does all his testing at trackside.. Scotty ernst owns trackside.. If any of you have ever heard him anounce, you know your in for a treat..

kenny does the announcing for 90% of our oval races and the snowbirds oval portion. scotty seems to have ties with the on-road nerds. i pick kenny he he

Ive never heard Ken announce, so i cant compare him to anyone.. Ive been fortunate to hear scotty any time i want.. I wasnt knocking ken, just stating what i thought may happen..

I did not start this thread for any reason other than that R.O.A.R has a new R.M.T. to do all the R.O.A.R National Events.

There are many great announcers around the country, along with many tracks, that want to put on Nationals events.

There are also many Scoring programs that a lot of track use that they as track owners and clubs have a comfort level with.

IFMAR and R.O.A.R write the rules for scoring and the Programs follow thoses rules.

As I said I hope see alot of you at many upcoming Great Events around the Country in the Future.

Scarecrow - I'm already looking forward to your announcing at Ovalmasters.
