I worked at the speedway for four years
doing the "play-by-play" on Saturday nights.
The picture to the left was taken in the press box during the 1998 racing season. I think I had a little too much sun that day -- I'm really red!
The picture to the right shows where I call the races. Notice the number of small pieces of papers. They are most likely birthday announcements.
I've announced so many of the fans' birthdays over the years that the Steinbecks thought it would be nice to have a birthday party complete with a birthday cake just for me!
