I'm shocked , he can't of been that old , roughly my age , loss of a legend .
If a jobs not worth doing then its certainly not worth doing well.

Endless contributions to our hobby. All around good guy. Had a chance to speak with him at a Midwest champs race quite a few years ago. Just a wealth of knowledge. He had a light up antenna mast that was dope. Always doing something. Turned some tires inside out and created the basis for most indoor clay tires used today. Best paint scheme in rc. Will be missed

RIP DIrt

Well damn, sorry to hear this. Only a few R/C enthusiasts can ever hope to be remembered as he will be though. R.I.P. Brian.
