Hunter Veneeman for driving over and helping us weekend, thanks for the MVP work!
Awesome to have Mac Schwab in attendance and his smooth skills and energetic personitiy
on and off the water. The day was highlight by Steve VanNacker doing his first Barrel roll

Awesome times hanging out with the APR Superleague racers and Aurora Lions club
members during our Saturday night party put on by Roar of Thunder event producer
Charlotte Hastings.

The pit area is very good with an old boat ramp to the water and a beach like pit area on the
water. Our pit area is very close to the show area and the crowd, so it's a nice location.
