These students were four of several class of 2026 All Stars who passed all 8 ASE tests in the Master Series as well as L1, Advanced Engine Performance.
The judges at San Marino had very high praise for the students, their automotive knowledge and enthusiasm. The students did so well, they have been invited to judge vehicles at the Japanese Classic Car Show on Saturday, October 3, in Long Beach. They look forward to their post-graduation work at their respective Toyota dealers and to becoming part of the classic vehicle hobby.
