Ever since my father took me to my first pole day, some 27 years ago (I will be 34 this year), Tom's bellowing voice stays very much in my memories. To hear the famous "And it's a new track record" and the roar of the fans right after that really made me realize that this is something special. As I have grown older and started attending the 500 mile race faithly over the last 5 years, I couldn't imagine not having Tom's voice there. I want to say thank you for the memories and I will miss you in the booth. Take careTom! - Mario
Im spanish indy 500 fan not so fan since 1996 this is for you tony george, its great to listen the tom carnegui voice, I like a lot of to listen him on the track is very exciting. its incredible how a commentatores like carnegui, bob jenkins and paul page became in legends like the drivers, they make an incredible job and they are a very important part of the emotion of the usa motor sport.
Having returned to the IMS in 2004 for the first time since 1978 and hearing the "voice" [i.e., Tom Carnegie] announcing at the drivers' meeting brought a "lump in my throat." I grew up listening to Tom not only at "the track" but most Indianapolis-area sporting events. He is the very best. Thanks, Tom.
Thanks for all the memories Mr. Carnegie. You are a living ledgend. You are as much a ledgend of the Brickyard as the names, Hulman, Foyt, Andretti, RUtherford, Mears, Mosley, and Rathman.
Tom Carnegie is a LEGEND. The voice and the style. I could listen to him for hours.
