That's all for this time...Till next time...We're outta here! "pop"........ TTG

Borrowed this one from Pitdrifters FB page...Keep um coming!!!​
 
The night Dean Mottsinger #44 let Kevin Gundaker borrow his car cause he was in the points chase. Mike says "I would let Kevin Gundaker borrow my bicycle! It would come back the wheels would be burnt off........but his late model?!?!?!?!?" LOL....he made the races fun thats for sure!
 
The first race after the Oklahoma City bombing, Mike said some words, everyone had a moment of silence, and he said some things about terrorism. The one thing he said that I will never for get is "I can tell you the line to get into this country is a lot longer than the line to get out".
Great man!!!
 
Man o man he could come off with some stuff.

I used to love it when he would pick on the Ray Walsh crew. Kiddin' them sayin they probably all had ankle bracelets on...lol or Sayin we gotta hurry up the show so the Walsh crew could get back before bed check.....lmao


One time back When Leon Rackers was racing at I55. Well Leon raced on what looked like a pretty tight budget and did pretty well doing so. One night Leon won a race and Mike was pumpin' it up and says "now this ain't some fresh outta the box operation folks"....... I bout busted a gut....lol
 
The time the power to the track lights at I-55 went out and Mike stood at the start/finish line and gave away something to the person who had the biggest speeding ticket 3 guys had tickets over 100 MPH came up
 
Modified Modified Modified... Or when the track was dry slick an a car would spin out that ERRRRT sound he made!!! his quotes will never be forgotten!!! u was the best

I had forgot all about that! Great night!
 
I always loved how he could do such a great rendition of the old Allied "three minute siren." And who could ever forget "Water! Water!"
 
My Favorite Mike Story was when Frankie and I met, my family raced at I -57 R.aceway in Benton and so did Frankie. They raced on Sunday night and everything took forever. We would get back to DQ at 3 or 4 in the morning. Mike was always a great announcer there, and that's where he named Frankie, Fast Frankie. At one point he quit and we didn't see him anymore until after we were married and started racing at Belleclair. He came up to us after our first night and asked what we were doing there and we asked what happened to him at Benton. He said one night he was going back to Collinsville after the races and it was so late he got tired and pulled off the side of the road. He woke up with his foot on the gas and the pedal to the floor, he jerked the wheel to the left and to the right trying to get back in between the lines and after a few frantic moments realized the car was in park. That was the end of the trips down here, and a funny story he would always tell on himself.

My other one was 20 years ago when we started at Highland, we did good there, and three weeks in a row they pulled us in the middle of the track and tore the motor down. Mike came over during one of the tear downs,and I asked him, if it was always like that here. He said until you were one of the cliq it would keep happening. I asked,"Well, How long does that take?" He said, "Darlin, Did you ever count how many counties you drive through to get here? You ain't never going to be one." It was priceless. He was one in a million, and will be missed forever.
 
Before I started racing, i remember during a caution at Belleville, he was trying to get a guys attention walking in front of the bleachers. He had a HotRod Hanradt shirt on. He was trying to buy it off his back from the booth! Also when he was at Highland, they called my name for junior fan club when i was like 6. I took awhile to get down to the track and he asks me,"What took you so long to get here son?" I said "I had to poop MR.!" He about fell over laughing! I asked him if he remembered that, from the way he started laughing i new the answer. As he murmered something about damn ginger red heads! LOL! Jon Ripperda
