This Just In….

On Friday April 13, the practice day for the 1/18 Nationals, Tony, Josh and Brad from Team Associated will be holding a Test and Tune session from 2:00 until ???

The AE guys will drive your car and help you set it up. How great is that!!!! This is a GREAT opportunity to learn hand in hand from Tony Phalen and Josh Anderson, the guys who DOMINATED the 1/18 Nats in 2006! It is one thing to tell someone what to do, it goes the extra mile to drive your car and help you set it up. I really want to thank Tony and all the AE guys for working with me on this to make this a great event!

Email me with any questions….
