Dirk is so cool. I got to meet him when he drove for JDR Motorsports KTM at Indy one year. I had more fun chatting and hanging out with than the riders. Cool dude.

Thank you for your comments. Man that sounds like a lot of rig to be in charge of. Yes I’ve been to Canada (Toronto SX) many times as well and every nut, bolt and washer had to be accounted for on our manifest so I feel your pain😬 It takes us about 4hours to wash the rig... we have DI ( Spot Free ) bottles on board and that saves a lot of time. The main things we wipe down are the wheels, glass and all the polished aluminum, stainless etc. You stay safe out there on the roads as well my friend👍

Very Happy for you Dirk,Geico Honda must be proud and great full to have you. And Thank you for projecting a professional image for us drivers. I was in charge of The worlds strongest horizontal drill rig convoy of trucks on are crew. There is a lot of details, special permits,routes,etc. Helped a mx team at Walcott IA. With info they needed to enter Canada which is extensive. Ps Amazing detail job and hand washing the Rig. How many hours does that take? Best wishes and regards to you and your Wife. Stay safe

How could anyone not like that guy...I could sense his passion in thirty seconds. Geico is fortunate to have him on the team.

Dirk Houghton...if you read this, thank you for all that you sacrifice, and do for our sport. Your job is just as important as a mechanic's, or team manager. Again, thank you.
