Well not racing in DD next year means I have no axe to grind regarding tyres, but Maxxis, whose product has been tested as you all know, by some Class B midfielders and Sam West, the Championship leader ( who would change tomorrow if he could ), who want to put a deal forward that offers the letter of suitability that the club wants, pairs of freely available, ZR rated tyres to participating riders for £100 a pair, donate 2 pairs of tyres at each round as prizes, donate all the cups and trophies for the podium places for the full season, and work out a way to get the tyres to the tracks and fit them. But there is a wall of resistance to keep the series using a tyre from a manufacturer that gives bugger all to those riding in the series, that still insists we advertise their product on the bikes. So PLEASE, dont lets have talk about keeping the series economical when the tyre costs could be slashed in an instant but WONT be.
