Where is the paddock?  Leaving a trailer full of tools and parts outside the fence is a little disconcerting

I read that as more seat time (via longer autocross course) and less stress (giving us a cheat sheet of questions for the concourse)

I guess I picked a good year to attend for the first time!

I’m glad you like your current welder.  After this year's event, I’ll let you borrow my free 2019 MillerMatic 211 for comparison.
