    Dave Moody

    This week on LIVING IT LOUD: Dave Moody “The Godfather”  Dave Moody began his motorsports broadcast career in 1978 at age 17, working as a short-track public address announcer under the guidance of his mentor, former CBS-TV motorsports anchorman Ken Squier. For the next 30 years, Moody manned the PA microphone at one of the country’s most successful short tracks, Thunder Road International Speedbowl in his native Vermont. “I learned at the feet of the master,” recalls Moody. “Ken taught me everything I know about the sport. I would announce a couple of Street Stock heats every week, then report to Ken’s office the next morning for a thorough review of my performance and tips on how to improve. It was an amazing opportunity, and I have made a career from what he taught me.”  From his start at that tiny, quarter-mile track in Vermont, Moody expanded his horizons to include weekly stints on the microphone at Vermont’s Catamount Stadium and Bear Ridge Speedway, the Lee USA Speedway in New Hampshire, Maine’s Oxford Plains Speedway and the Airborne Park Speedway in New York. He also served as the voice of the NASCAR North and American-Canadian Tour Late Model Series for more than two decades, traveling throughout the northeastern United States and eastern Canada.  “It was a lot of work, but I can’t think of a better way for a young announcer to learn the trade,” recalls Moody. “It was standard operating procedure for me to work at a different track every Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday from Memorial Day through Labor Day. At last count, I had worked at more than 100 different speedways in the United States, Canada and Mexico. At the height of my short-track days, I had more than 600 drivers, cars, hometowns and sponsors memorized for instant recall.” Tune in live each week at 8am MST on Wednesdays (re-air at 6pm MST on Fridays) on AM 1220 KLDC for new interviews with amazing guests from across the country as they share their unique stories because…….EVERYONE has a story! #livingitloud #livingitloudradioshow #livingitloudwithtamibandimere #radioshow #radioshowhost #bandimerespeedway #bandimerefamily #coloradoradio #colorado #denvercolorado #tamibandimere #bandimere
