Andy

Mate, we ran the ZR tyres on both ours from the beginning and you know how they went.
Also who remembers the epic domski and andy j battle in cold torrential rain at brands hatch in early april 2006 when they were banging farings for much of race 1 and never had a tyre issue and both were on the ZRs then.

I'm keen for this post to be a new DD record.

1. I'm not sure the MT are banging on about keeping the costs down? It has been the ongoing principal in DD.

2. Crappy road tyres seem to have worked for a number of people over the years - Cobby, Andy, Matt T., etc,etc,etc,

3. As ever people can choose to spend what they like - within the agreed guidelines/rules, blah... Does my Corse Tshirt make me faster?

4. Rules have been reviewed/changed and agreed every closed season of DD.

5. Volunteer organisers seem to be doing OK, over the last 5 years.

6. People come, people go - thats life, stay if your happy, go if your not.

7. Is it broken?

In summary DD has been/is a great series with a great paddock atmosphere, long may it continue.
