Let me tell you what, this dude is definitely what the hobby should be about for most of the big sponsored guys. Helping out, volunteering, and probably one of the fastest turnmarshals out there regardless of it's the F main, kids class, or otherwise. I always thought it was a good idea after Tekno brought him onboard, but even more now watching his presence and attitude at the track. You can see the big tekno area they had setup across the track.

Some of the mains had brutal starts (mine included having lap times nearly double what it should be due to people not playing it safe and hammering down), but a great event in general. Surface is a clay/dirt/sand mixture and the majority of it was blue groove in a matter of hours. There was also minimal dust, no matter how many were running on it. Definitely will be back again next year.
