Host of the 2016 ROAR Nationals, Valkaria RC Raceway, is a staple in the Florida on-road racing community and this past weekend they hosted Round 1 of the 2018/2019 FSEARA Asphalt Series. With 89 entries on hand, racing was fast and fierce and JConcepts was up for the challenge. JConcepts decided to debut the all-new A1R this weekend in the highly competitive 17.5 Expert TC and Pro Mod classes. The designer of the all-new A1R body, Paul Wynn, was on hand with JConcepts very own AJ Marasco to dial in the bodies on this high-speed/medium grip permanent asphalt track.

Veteran racer and body privateer Dave Vera tested several bodies throughout the event and quickly settled on the new A1R for his Awesomatix A800 Evo in the Pro Mod class.
