Boys,

Be aware that at present the intention is to run without tyre warmers in the 1st year.

Thats Handy as I have just sold my tyre warmers and Generator to my mate Dallas and used the funds to help pay for the bike.

But as its my neck and money on the line I based this decision on being able to Run on Pirelli tyres as I signed up for a series with free tyres.

Now if this is going to change to a single tyre rule to simply try and save me around £40 or so in the season I will seriously have to reconsider taking part.
As in fact not being able to use the tyres I already have will mean I have to go and buy a set of tyres prior to the first meeting, which following insuring my van and car on top of buying and preping a 600 is going to be outside my budget. Currently I have tyres I can race on at Cadwell so they are not a added cost.

By the way Senna3 has just agreed a deal on a 600SS

I can see Tyres might well be the next contentious issue - especially as riders will all have their own preferences.

Hopefully though, a bulk discount might be available somewhere to ease finances.

Tyre warmers - I thought the rules said these were free - or have things changed again ???

For my ten pence...

If wets are allowed surely the costs will go up again...wet tyres, wheels, warmers, stands,and if no power a generator.!!..sure some will have all of this, but other swont....if the tyre choice is a tyre which can afford good grip in rain and dry then it would be great imho.

not really a betting man but my money is on it being:

no warmers
no wets
1 control tyre.

not really my ideal option particularly if its not my tyre of choice. but more than happy to go along with it.
