I enjoyed the article on Mike Dunn. The only area of disagreement I have is his accessment of Paul Page. As far as I am concerned, Page has no place in the NHRA. His performance was just short of pathetic and he really didn't improve. What amazes me is that Marty did such a great job and was helping NHRA in the audience ratings, and ESPN decided to take him to a venue that has a small audience and waste his talents. I have contacted NHRA and voiced my disapproval along with many others, and I appreciate the NHRA responding to me, but they say it is up to ESPN and basically ESPN ignores all my emails.

I met Mike at Bristol back in 2001 and I told him that I was brand new to the sport, and loved his commentary, which really educated me in the sport. Along with Marty, they both complemented the sport and made it enjoyable. Since then I have become a big fan, but if Page is back this year, I won't be watching the telecast...thank goodness for the internet. I have also made some friends in racing community, drivers and crew members, and they think Page is worthless also and feel that it will hurt the sport. But I guess ESPN has a hold over what happens and apparently Page is related to someone there in order to keep his job. It is amazing how a "seasoned professional, as NHRA put it" can go from voice of the 500, to broadcasting CART races, to IRL coverage and basically do a poor job at all of this, but then be put in a position to destroy a TV audience that is growing as in the NHRA. It will be a sorry day if Page returns. - Dave Hunsinger, Avon, Indiana
