It’s a high-profile job, given that one’s voice carries out onto the racetrack, in the paddock, up the steps of the grandstands, into the garage, and nearly everywhere else for all to hear, but somebody’s got to do it – announcing at Sports Car Club of America’s (SCCA) race events when they are held at Watkins Glen International. The latest man to occupy the seat at the SCCA microphone is Josh Ashby, 29, who hails from Watkins Glen............

..........See my story of SCCA's announcer at WGI, here at Examiner.com.

[Muse:  Thank you to Josh Ashby and WGI for allowing me to view a "behind the scenes" look at announcing at WGI].
