The 2012 Tamiya Nats were held this past weekend at the awesome Tamiya facility in Aliso Viejo California. Nice weather (and a FREE trip to Japan) brought out some of the best Tamiya racers in the nation. After 4 long days on the blacktop, the mains went down and the winners crowned!

Congrats to the following drivers for their fearless driving, holding off some pretty tough competition to take the win. These 4 will be heading on an all-expense paid trip to Japan to represent the US at the Tamiya World Champs! Good luck boys…make us proud!

F1 – Anthony Fung
GT-2 – Mihai Gutuescu

Look for a full write-up on this event in an upcoming issue of RC Driver Magazine.
