THE SACRAMENTO BEE Sunday June 6 1976 Page F5 'Voice' Of West Capital Raceway Homework Pays Off For Gerould which drivers Jimmy Gordon and Ernie Purssell and spectator Walter Rieff were killed in separate accidents at the old State Fair Ground track "I never experienced anything like that before because I knew Gordon and Purssell quite well" he said "Gordon was on the threshold of great things He'd just signed with (LC) Agajanian and was on the road to national prominence "What I learned from that day is that people involved in racing can accept tragedy better than the average fan When someone gets hurt the camaraderie among the drivers is there They really get together" Gerould gets thoroughly involved in his race announcer's role "It's a situation where I enjoy what I'm doing and I'd probably be out here even if I wasn't working" he added "It helps me make some extra money to pay the bills I guess I'm lucky because I enjoy doing it" And perhaps luckier are the West Capital fans servation as to what's happening not official" Gerould was a West Capital fan long before he took the announcer's job "Before I got Saturday night off I'd I be out here watching the races until the last minute before having to rush to the studio (for the late news)" he said "Many times I'd hold my breath that the Tower Bridge wasn't opened for a boat Somehow I always made it" UC Davis Extension UNIVERSITY BASEBALL CAMP familiarize himself with new drivers and their backgrounds He runs the interviews between races and other program lulls West Capital's card includes a play-by-play commentary by Gerould who follows a format similar to his radio days at in Chico before joining the KCRA-TV staff in 1965 "I used to do a lot of play-by-play and I really loved it" he said 'This satisfies my void for wanting to do live stuff since we no longer do it on radio" Gerould explains his West Capital role is to lend atmosphere "The fans can tell by my voice if I'm excited that something's happening" he said "In some cases it's just my ob e)4 4' :4 444ivivc 4' l'': t''''' s7 '04: sii k'''''''''- :7 140igxiov ::4: 7 :144: '4 1f 4 1 '11- '4 4" ::1 -1 Itite'' 4" tiL 121 8 Year Olds with Phil Swim ley head baseball coach UC Davis and Guy Anderson baseball coach Cordova Senior High School Four one-week sessions July 25August 21 Dorms meals supervision and use of recreational facilities included For further information write University Extension University of California Davis CA 95616 telephone (916) 752-3098 By JIM RATTIE Bee Staff Writer Being in the limelight for more than a decade hasn't spoiled local television sportscaster Gary Gerould Basically a shy person Gerould is regarded by most sports scribes as perhaps the most knowledgeable among the Sacramento sportscasters He's fair accurate and consistent And he's modest And it's with that introduction that the "voice" of West Capital Raceway and other Northern California auto racing events assumes a role other than that of the normal public address announcer One observer noted that Gerould eases through a racing card about as smoothly as Johnny Rutherford negotiates an Indianapolis curve But for the record he does a lot of homework "Normally the afternoon before a race I spend time studying past statistics" Gerould said "It takes a lot of preparation People may think it's routine because you rattle off all these bits of information But I had to research them" In his preparation Gerould compiles several charts containing data on the drivers track records and Gerould has announced all forms of motor sports races midgets stock cars supermodifieds and grand prix motocross covering several Northern California tracks Unfortunately Gerould was announcing that Oct 25 1970 day in EIMEINEOPPEIMINEIP GARY GEROULD numerous other items which he relates in a fashion that fans might find almost computer-like Part of his homework includes a trip into the pit area a half hour before qualifying to tape interviews and 1 op '11-1 I I' 7 )14'''''' of t' 'NI) fr' 1 J)44 -t i str 1 0 iJi4( 4 '44 0 et A AT!
