Nice reprt Jeff! I started working for the local promoter here in KC this year. I'm the announcer! If I want to ride practice on race day, I can, for free, too. If I want to race, that's also free. When I go to practice at either of his tracks, guess what? Yep, free! Plus, I can race and announce the same gig. It's just that the mic is silent for the moto prior until the moto after mine whilst I prepare and then recover! Plus, he pays me about $40-50 a night when I do announce. Hard deal to beat! Get to sit around and watch and talk about MX all night and get paid! :)
