I love those is that a midwest thing or are they everywhere?
That's universal, my man.

We don't have them here as much, but I remember when I was in high school we used to have TONS of drag races, tractor pulls, monster truck competitions, rodeos, demolition derbies, car/hotrod shows, etc. coming through town.

The announcer on the radio spots for all this stuff would do his schtick screaming into a mic, growling and so forth, with TONS of echo/delay, etc.

That's a midwest thing, a Southern thing, a northeast thing, a west coast thing, etc. I've heard it EVERYWHERE I've ever lived!

Apparently it's the standard "Loud-Ass, Gasoline-Scented Blue Collar/White Belly/Redneck Automotive Event at the Local Fairgrounds this Weekend!!!" announcing voice. Must be the same guy!
