Vin Danaher to be Co-Announcer for the 2005 U.S. Grand National Watercross Championships. Vin Danaher has been chosen to co-announce with Jamie Deer on the 2005 U.S. Grand National Watercross Tour.  We are very excited about the new addition to our team as Vin will bring much added excitement to the races with his enthusiasm and high energy. Vin is from Oakville, Ontario, Canada and has been racing for the past 4 years in the Runabout 800 Class.  Vin finished 6th overall in the 2004 World Finals, and his goal is to ultimately win a World Title and have fun doing it.  On his spare time he likes to relax, and participates in Hockey, Lacrosse, and Kickboxing. "I got into racing cause I wanted to try it.  I'm still doing it cause of the family, friends, and camaraderie ......GREAT SPORT.....GOOD PEOPLE...... and a great time!" Vin, along with many other Canadians have been regular icons on the USGNW Tour for the past several years and have competed in the Budweiser / Novi Can-Am Cup as well.  This will bring some added flair to the tour in 2005 as the smack will be flying between the US and Canada riders. "My 2005 "trash talk" line......I'm just impressed that I can talk "smack" with all the boys I've looked up to for the last few years!"   Vin and Jamie will make an excellent announcing combination throughout the year adding variety to the program.  Both pre-race and post race interviews along with calling the race action will be on the agenda making the race weekend action packed for the racer and spectator alike. "Got to laugh, to my leading up to racing, I used to be a rec. rider and I'd see guys like Rick Maj or Bob Borycki riding. These guys were always practicing at the beach and I thought man, fast boats!  Rick would always say, "Hey, Are those race numbers on the side of your boat?" (and there wasn't numbers on my boat!) ......always makes me smile when I think about it." The U.S. Grand National Watercross Championships would like to thank all the other people that expressed interest in co-announcing with Jamie Deer, but we felt that Vin Danaher who's from Canada would make the best fit to the program and bring some entertainment and fun back to the race weekend.  When you see Vin on the tour this year stop by and give him some props, but also be sure and give him some smack as well!  Welcome aboard, Vin!
