 This Is Buzz:


Buzz is our Race Announcer and he had quite a job trying to keep track of all those
cars as they tried to complete their 7 laps. He may have gotten a little sunstroke or something, because
he started calling everyone by different names, and making up new ones for Joey for every race.




We got him a scissor lift, and of course he took it all the way up, the full 30 feet.
He terrified every cameraman that went up there with him.
