Sam, you mentioned the announcer's sheet, and I thank you for the reminder. That is -- lots of folks don't fill out the information sheet for the announcer to use. Go ahead and do it, folks. When you're in line and next up -- Ron Christensen, the radio announcer, reads those sheets about you, your crew, your sponsors (including, if you're smart butt like me and others, putting down "Social Security or MasterCard as a sponsor), your past records, and so on. Giving him all of the information you can is good -- it makes for more entertaining listening for the folks that can hear the radio - and this time, better listening for the internet audience, too.
Make it legible, too. Don't fill it out with hen scratching - take the time to make it easy to read, PLEASE. Too many times he's been stumped by some sloppy penmanship and missed being able to say something that you might think was important.
He takes those sheets, puts them in entry number order, and punches for a three ring binder and puts 'em in that binder along with a copy of your registration sheet. With all of that information he'll be able to tell the audience lots of good stuff about you. If you really do have a sponsor that would like to at least hear his name or company being mentioned (they, too, can listen on the internet audio stream) -- that sponsor will be tickled pink that you got him a name mention on the Internet. Wow -- and that oughta make next years' sponsorship easier for you.
To sum it all up: Please fill out the radio announcer's information sheet and submit it with your entry - or at registration. Thanks (from me, but really from Ron C.)
