Had a blast last night (except for the horrible marshalling in the B-Main) Loved the track, everyone I met was really cool. See you guys for the ROAR race next weekend!

I should have the A and B main buggy videos up on my YouTube channel later on today

Once that B-main video is up Note the marshalling of the middle (PJ's marshalling section), and the far end, first turn after the big jump, and last turn before the front straight (DJ's marshalling post)...You'll find that some of us marshalling that B-main Buggy race were really hustling for you guys. I have the bruised left leg and torn jeans to prove it. There were not a lot of marshalls in that main...Big track, small amount of marshalls, and things are bound to be missed. We could have used at the most 2 more marshalls for that race. The announcer even called for more over the airway. With exception of a bad miss or two, which is always unfortunate, I don't think the B-main marshalls did that bad of a job, considering the low numbers we had to work with.

I understand you guys were really short handed, but I was left on my lid for at least 15-20 seconds after taking a risk and trying to jump pass a few of the 4 guys in front of me on the big back jump the first lap. Then one of the kids out there marshalling sat there and stared at my car instead of flipping it. That first incident really just got me off my game and the race was over for me at that point. Oh well. I'm the one that crashed. I still had a great time and will visit BD regularly.

No problem Mike...Any time you need me just let me know. I think good pitting one of the most realistic parts of gas/nitro rc racing. I usually only race one class. Unless I break, pitting and marshalling helps in keeping me busy at the track ...Any time Bro

What a Saturday double header not a real good performance in the A. Found a bent hinge pin in the front from the big jump in the back could not jump straight but finished good night.
