If you’re in the Project view, removing the front and back portions can be quickly done using the Edit in Place editor and the range tool. You could split this into a couple macros too, just have to manually make the selection. (there are other ways to do it too)
Edit in place,
range tool
Snap type: events
Locators to selection
Edit in Place (closes editor)
Edit: Crop Range
If the track has nothing on it aside from this pass you can create a macro and assign a key command to it, to do this with one keystroke after you record the phrase.
With the track selected and Range Tool active (or include “Range Tool” as the first step of the macro.)
