| Well, one of my nightmares is going to come true - Rusty is signed on with ABC starting in '07, and will be doing the Chase. I must have been awful naughty in a previous lifetime to have to suffer like this.... It could be worse, it could be Herman. I can only take him in small doses. |
After listening to Rusty, Larry Mac may well end up sounding like a scholar.

him in.
The thing about Rusty is, that it's always ALL about Rusty. No matter
the subject, he always turns it around to talk about himself. That's
what makes me cringe.

whom for whatever reason, they just don't "like". Critiquing implies, to me
at least, a modicum of objectivety. Most of the stuff in here is quite
subjective, and that's being nice about it quite frankly. lol

years in the booth have passed him by. I'm not sure I'd take Chris Myers
over him yet, but it's gotten close.

Mike Joy is much better than Webber (who scripts his spiel, incredibly enough), but even his call is not of the quality he had a few years back. Personally, I blame it on the "three buds in a bar" style which Fox wants out of the crew, not any failing in Mike's abilities. |
better than pure broadcast calling and dull technical color commentary IMO.
That's why I've never called out BP or Wally from the NBC team. They may be
goofy at times, but there are worse ways for them to carry on. And their
antics are a badly needed offset for Webber's often dry and bland delivery
of his canned facts and mind-numbing soliloquies.

Weber has apparently taken over as Poet for the rest of NBC's races
Bob Jenkins has also gotten elderly. It's painful to listen to him
on Speed News Sat & Sun.

a cold one on his other 2 buds. I think every one of the
Pit Reporters are very good. I like Wally but BP is elderly now too.

I don't mind the laid back approach to the booth callers for Fox. It's better than pure broadcast calling and dull technical color commentary IMO. |
race calling. I'd be happier if Mike did rather more talking,
and the other two quite a bit less. YMMV, of course.

know that he writes himself scripts in advance, I understand
why his commentary sounds so weird.
I've become quite impressed with Dallenbach this year. His
comments on the race are substantive (unlike Benny's, which
have become increasingly trivial over the years), and his
joking around in the booth hasn't descended to playing the
fool, which is a line DW & Larry Mac have had a hard time
finding.

as much as anyone for the current standard of broadcasting. I
wonder if perhaps it might just be that his heart's not really
in the job, when it doesn't include race broadcasts.

of pit reporters are setting a very high standard. I could
wish they were a little more informative (instead of "made an
air pressure adjustment" or "added half a pound in the right
front", which is better, I'd like to hear "added half a pound
in the right front to loosen the car on entry", so we know
what the change was susposed to solve. Admittedly, it's hard
to fit all that in when 3 cars are all pitting in the same
12 second window.)

differently to this adjustment?

But does adding half a pound to the right front always loosen up every car on entry or would a different chassis with a different setup respond differently to this adjustment? |

Adding pressure to the front tires won't definitively make the car loose or tight. It depends on the rear tire pressures, but will usually make the car more tight. Adding pressure to the rear tires will usually make the car more loose. Adding to the tire pressures will help hold down heat and tire wear. Lower tire pressures will provide more grip; 'bite'.
