🎙️ Show #354 – David Joor of Avid Racing
What’s up, NNRC Squad! On this episode, I sit down with David Joor, owner of Avid Racing Concepts, to talk about his RC journey, starting Avid with a $700 investment, expanding beyond bearings, sponsorship culture, carpet racing, and Avid’s move into the tire market.
It’s a great conversation covering more than 20 years of RC racing, business, innovation, and survival.
Thank you for listening and supporting me and the NNRC!
