Jeremy Kortz qualifies 2nd with the Agama A8 at the 2012 Airtronic's Winter Nationals, 3 seconds behind TLR's Adam Drake and ahead of Kyosho's Cody King. Problems with tires in the main forced an early exit, but it was still a very strong showing for Agama at the first big West Coast race of 2012 at the famous Revelation Raceway in Ontario California. Here is a video of qualifying as Kortz battled with Drake for the TQ spot.
10,000 Winter Slam at Warehouse Raceway
Report by Jason Branham
January 6-8th I was able to attend the 10,000 Winter Slam at Alan Burton’s Warehouse Raceway and home of his well known Speed Shop. Alan has done a great job with his facility and even with the tight racing space he was able to build a challenging and fun lay out. Team Agama showed up in good numbers with me, my brother Brian Rickard, Alan Burton, Corey Johnson and Drew Cassidy in attendance.
We are very excited for the 2012 season here at Hobby Pro USA. We look forward to bringing our customers the highest quality products at great prices. We are very happy to announce that Agama USA driver Jason Branham will join Beta Racing Tires in 2012. We look forward to the arrival of the all new Beta Racing Line of tires. The tires will be available for sale in the United States March 1st.
Here is a statement from Pro Driver Jason Branham.
"First of all I would like to thank Pro-Line, Todd Mattson, Tim Clark, and Daniel Adams for all the help and support over the last 6 years. Everyone at Pro-Line has been very committed to helping me as much as possible and for that I can't say thank you enough. I'm excited to move on to Beta Tires for 2012 and I want to thank Beta Racing, Hobby Pro USA, Gene Hickerson, and Andrew Smolnik for this opportunity. I've had very positive test sessions with the Beta Tires and they feel extremely planted and consistent. Looking forward to using their products!"

" I am stoked to have Kortz on our Agama race team. It will definitely stir things up this year! "
