Welcome home Dave Fox!
 
The Snowbird's are filled with rich tradition. Part of the great history that comes with the 'birds is the experienced and dedicated crew that shares in the race experience with you, the racer. We are extremely excited to announce the return of Dave 'Foxdaddy' Fox to the on-road lineup along Sam Ledford on the floor and Jim Smith in tech. Dave announced the first carpet race at the old Radisson and has been here to see the Snowbirds grow into the spectacle it is today. Last year Dave unfortunately had to miss because of work, but this year will be back to call the racing action! Welcome back Dave! A huge thanks goes out again to Ruben Benitez, as he came to the rescue last year and did a great job being part of the crew for us while Dave was stuck in China.

Here's Dave:
