Jconcepts Clash Gas Warm-up

In preparation for the JConcepts Clash, a Nitro Clash warm up was held in Coral Springs, FL. It was a successful test day for all nitro racers who will be attending the Clash in just a few weeks. In the Pro Buggy A Main, Team Associated drivers JR Mitch and Renato Jr. Tradardi competed with their Factory Team RC8.2s, with Mitch taking the overall TQ spot.

Mitch was able to check out early in the race and extend his lead to half a lap over second in the first 10 minutes of the race. With Mitch making a couple of mistakes with 7:30 to go, the race got very interesting. Now it was a battle between the two "Jr"s.  In the last couple laps when Renato Jr. had the lead, he made a small mistake at the first turn, letting JR Mitch slip by. Both drivers were so close to each other, but in the end JR Mitch with his Reedy-powered, JConcepts-equipped RC8.2 took the win by just .9 sec over Renato Tradardi Jr.

Special thanks to JR Mitch for this report.
